Which three tertiary colors each have more of that primary color?

The correct answer involves identifying tertiary colors that have a predominant amount of one primary color mixed in, which is a fundamental concept in color theory.

In the context of the choices, dark brown, light brown, and gray can all be derived by mixing primary colors (red, blue, yellow) in different proportions, but they lean towards the color produced by a stronger combination of a specific primary color along with their secondary counterparts. For example, brown is made by mixing red and yellow, and depending on the ratios, the resultant color can shift towards either red or yellow. Gray, primarily a neutral color, can also be made by mixing complementary colors and can reflect an underlying presence of primary color attributes depending on what secondary colors were mixed to obtain it.

In contrast, the other options include colors that do not conform as closely to this structure of having a primary color in a dominating role. Pink is made from red and white, teal is a softer shade of blue and green, and chartreuse is a mix of green and yellow. Hence, while they are derived from primary colors, the focus on one particular primary color is less evident compared to the mostly brown and gray hues, which do have clear affiliations with their primary color red or yellow.

Thus
