The term raw colour usually refers to pure, unmixed colours that are derived directly from primary colours. These colours - such as blues, reds and yellows - are saturated and vibrant because there are no other hues or tones mixed in. Raw colours have a powerful visual impact because their vibrancy and clarity immediately draw attention to themselves. The use of such colours often triggers a primary reaction and can be used to convey specific emotions or messages.
Raw colours tend to create unique dynamics in design and art, as they do not lose their intensity when mixed. In this way, the use of raw colour emphasises a minimalist approach in which each colour stands on its own. Such colours have a strong influence on the mood and energy of a composition and are often used in modern design and art direction to create a vibrant and fresh feel.

what is the colour of the raw colour?
Raw colour most often refers to the colour of natural, unprocessed materials such as raw wood, raw stone or raw linen. This colour is usually neutral, can be brownish, greyish or beige in shade and lacks the effect of artificial processing or dyeing.
What determines the colour of the raw colour?
The colour of the raw colour depends on several factors. First and foremost, the chemical composition of the material and the pigments it contains play a decisive role. In addition, the type and intensity of the light source that illuminates the colour also affects its appearance. The viewing angle and environmental conditions (e.g. background colours, surface texture, etc.) can also affect the perception of the raw colour.
How is raw colour colour mixing possible?
When mixing raw colour, basic colour theory is needed. Raw colours are primary colours that are not mixed with other colours. These colours are red, blue and yellow. When mixing, the following methods can be used:
1. **Additive colour mixing**: This method involves mixing the colours of light, where red is, Green and blue lights to get the different colours. From the three colours we get white.
2. **Subtractive colour mixing**: This is the method used in printing and painting where cyan, magenta and yellow inks are mixed. These base inks, when mixed, produce a black colour.
3. **Stepped blending**: the gradual blending of two or more raw colours results in smooth transitions, providing softer colour transitions and shades.
So there are several different ways of mixing raw colours, depending on the end result you want to achieve and the medium you are using.
