ALTERNATE USAGE


The term "tertiary color" was originally coined to refer to "neutral" colors; those made by mixing all three primary colors in a Color Space . Examples of these would be White or Grey , in the (light) additive system, and Brown , grey, or Black in the (pigment or paint) subtractive system. This is still the common meaning in most technical literature.
