Secondary colors are formed by mixing two primary colors together. In the color wheel, primary colors are red, blue, and yellow.

Therefore, the correct answer is "mixture of primary colors."

The primary colors are the basic colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors. They are the building blocks for all other colors. In the subtractive color model used in painting and printing, the primary colors are yellow, blue, and red. By mixing these three colors in various combinations, all other colors can be created. Therefore, the answer choice "yellow, blue, red" is correct.
