  • Hello.

  • [Laughs]

  • How's that for an opening? No jumping up.

  • I can't do it; too old.

  • Today I'm going to teach you something very fun, easy, simple, but very important for painting.

  • Are you a painter? Are you learning to paint? I love painting.

  • I'm going to teach you about the colours in English. Very easy.

  • Primary and secondary colour. So, let's go to the board.

  • This is yellow. Okay.

  • So, we have something called "primary colours". Now, "primary colours" means

  • you cannot mix the colours to achieve the colour. So, the primary colours in English are

  • "red", "blue"-"brown"-and "yellow".

  • Now, I don't have a yellow marker. This is a highlighter.

  • So, the primary colours in English are red, blue, and yellow.

  • What happens is we are going to go a little crazy, we're going to mix the colours together.

  • So when we mix the primary colours, they become "secondary colours".

  • So, if you have red paint

  • and you mix it with your blue paint-maybe by mistake, whoops

  • -you're going to get "purple".

  • Now, in the proper colour wheel, which is a wheel of wonderful colours, the purple is

  • actually called "magenta". I don't know why. It's called magenta. So, magenta is just a

  • beautiful purple colour. If you were to mix your yellow paint brush and it got into the

  • blue a little bit too much, you would actually achieve the colour "green".

  • Yay!

  • The more green you... The more yellow you put in, the brighter green it's going to get. If you put

  • in more blue, it's going to become a darker green. The next one... Dunh-dunh-dunh, what's

  • left? Is if you get red and you mix it with yellow, it's going to become the beautiful

  • colour of "orange". So, we start with our primary colours and we mix them all together

  • to get our secondary colours.

  • Now, this would happen to me a lot when I was painting: I would make purple, because

  • that's my favourite colour. What's your favourite colour? Oh yeah? Okay. So I would make purple,

  • and it was like: "Oo, I want to make green now", and then: "Maybe I want some orange."

  • But what would happen is if I mixed all of these colours together, uh-oh, I'd get "brown".

  • "Brown" doesn't have a special name, like the turd-ary colour, but what happens if you

  • eventually mix all of these guys together, you're going to come up with, not brune, brown.

  • So, brown is the mix of the primary and the secondary, without a proper name.

  • The other cool thing about colours is the colours of the rainbow.

  • Do you know the colours of the rainbow? Sometimes it's difficult for me to remember.

  • It's important sometimes.

  • But we've devised or we've made up a little saying to help you.

  • We say: "ROYGBIV". Ready?

  • "ROYGBIV".

  • Now, "ROYGBIV" is not a word. I'm ROYGBIV. No, that doesn't make sense. It's

  • not a word, it's not a verb, but what it is is an acronym, which means each letter represents

  • a proper word. So, "ROYGBIV" is the order of the colours to make a rainbow.

  • So, the "R" is red, "O" is orange,

  • yellow-this is yellow-yellow, green,

  • blue, "indigo"...

  • Hold on. I lied to you when I told you that purple was my favourite colour.

  • My ultimate favourite colour in the whole world is indigo.

  • Indigo is a beautiful mix of blue and purple.

  • It's not purple, it's not blue; it's indigo. So, indigo is a mix of purple and blue, and at

  • the end of the rainbow, we have "violet". Now, "violet" you might also know as the colour

  • purple, but it's the same name. Colours in English are confusing. Don't worry, we'll

  • get to that as well. So, indigo and violet.

  • So we have "ROYGBIV", right? So violet. Sorry, indigo and violet.

  • So, maybe someone is giving you a quiz and saying:

  • "Oh, name the seven colours of the rainbow in order."

  • You're going to go: "ROYGBIV. ROYGBIV,

  • okay. Red, orange, yellow, green,

  • blue, in-, in... Ronnie's favourite colour, indigo, and violet.

  • Got it! Bam!" You've aced your quiz or your test. You are a super colour genius.

  • Don't forget that.

  • What's your favourite colour?

  • Do you have one?

  • Get your paint brushes ready to mix up some secondaries and primaries.

  • I'm Ronnie.

  • 'Till then.

  • Bye.

Hello.
