Intermediate colour

When a primary and a neighboring binary are mixed, the resultant is an intermediate hue. In appearance, the intermediate hue is halfway be­tween the two colors. There are six of these intermediate hues: yellow-green (YG), blue-green (BG), blue-purple (BP) or blue violet (BV), red-purple (RP) or red violet (RV), red-orange (RO), and yellow-orange (YO).
