The term "tertiary color" was originally coined to refer to "neutral" colors; those made by mixing all three primary colors in a color space (e.g. RGB, CMYK). Examples of these would be white or grey, in the (light i.e. RGB) additive system, and brown, grey, or black in the (pigment or paint i.e. CMYK) subtractive system. This is still the common meaning in most technical literature.

There are
red-orange,
yellow-orange,
yellow-green,
blue-green,
blue-violet,
and
red-violet.
By combining the primary color with the secondary color, we can form the new combination. Those are none other than the tertiary colors.
