Meaning
Colour is something we see with our eyes.
About Colours
The colours we can see are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. If you mix colours of paint together you can get another colour. Red and yellow paint mixed together makes orange. Blue and yellow paint mixed together make green. Blue and red paint mixed together makes purple. If you mix all three you can make brown.
