Color is produced by the light bouncing off of objects and reflecting into our eyes so we can see color. You can make any color out of the 3 primary colors red, blue, and yellow. Colors on the opposite side of the color wheel are called contrasting colors. (Red-Green, Blue-Orange, Voilet-Yellow) Mixing these contrasting colors creates the color brown.
