Question

One of the following is NOT tertiary colour:

• A. Olive
• B. Russet
• C. Brown
• D. Litrine

Hint:

Traditional tertiary colour names include Olive, Russet and Citrine. Brown is the odd one in this question.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Tertiary colours are made by mixing primary and secondary colours or by further mixing secondary colours. Traditional tertiary colour names include: \[ \text{Olive, Russet, Citrine} \]

Step 1: Check Olive.
Olive is considered a tertiary colour. So, it is not the answer.

Step 2: Check Russet.
Russet is also considered a tertiary colour. So, it is not the answer.

Step 3: Check Litrine/Citrine.
Litrine appears to refer to Citrine, which is a traditional tertiary colour. So, it is also not the answer.

Step 4: Check Brown.
Brown is a common neutral or mixed colour, but in the traditional tertiary colour set, it is not counted with Olive, Russet and Citrine. Therefore, Brown is not tertiary in this list. Hence: \[ \boxed{\text{(C) Brown}} \]
