Explanation:

1. Primary colors are the base colors that can't be created by mixing others. In traditional color theory (for pigment, like paint) and light, the primary colors differ, but for art (pigment - subtractive mixing), primary colors are red, blue, yellow. For light (additive mixing), it's red, green, blue, but in art classes focusing on painting, the pigment primary colors (red, blue, yellow) are taught.
2. Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors. Mixing red and blue gives purple, red and yellow gives orange, blue and yellow gives green.
3. Tertiary colors are made by mixing a primary and a secondary color (or two secondary colors in some cases). Examples include red - orange, yellow - orange, yellow - green, blue - green, blue - purple, red - purple.
4. Neutral colors are colors that don't show up on the color wheel and are often used to tone down other colors. They include black, white, gray, and sometimes brown (which is a mix of multiple colors but acts as a neutral in many cases).
5. A shade of a color is made by adding black to the color. Black darkens the color, creating a shade.
6. A tint of a color is made by adding white to the color. White lightens the color, creating a tint.
7. Complementary colors are those that are across from each other on the color wheel. For example, red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple. They contrast strongly and are used to make each other stand out. So the correct option is b.
8. Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel. For example, red, red - orange, orange or blue, blue - green, green. They create a harmonious color scheme. So the correct option is a.
9. Warm colors are colors that are associated with warmth, like red, orange, yellow. They are often used to create a sense of energy, warmth, or forwardness in a composition.
10. Cool colors are colors associated with coolness, like blue, green, purple. They are often used to create a sense of calm, distance, or serenity.
11. Warm colors (like red, orange, yellow) seem to advance or "pop out" in a composition, while cool colors (like blue, green, purple) seem to recede or fall back. This is due to how our eyes and brain perceive color temperature and depth.

Answer:

1. Primary colors: Red, Blue, Yellow (for pigment - based art)
2. Secondary colors: Purple, Orange, Green
3. Tertiary colors: Red - Orange, Yellow - Orange, Yellow - Green, Blue - Green, Blue - Purple, Red - Purple
4. Neutral colors: Black, White, Gray (and often Brown)
5. To make a shade of a color, add: Black
6. To make a tint of a color, add: White
7. Complementary colors are: b. Across from each other on the color wheel.
8. Analogous colors are: a. Next to each other on the color wheel.
9. Warm colors are: Red, Orange, Yellow
10. Cool colors are: Blue, Green, Purple
11. Warm colors seem to advance/"pop out" and Cool colors seem to recede/fall back.
