Create a blue circle at the bottom right point of the triangle using a blue paint and make a yellow circle at the highest end of the triangle using the yellow paint. Similarly, consider creating a red circle at the bottom left point of the triangle. Since red, yellow and blue are the primary colors here, you will be required to connect them to the color wheel.
