It's the second week of the Color Palettes challenge!

Week Two Prompt: Primary Colors 🍎
This week we're going back to basics with the primary colors red, blue, and yellow in these shades: #F44336, #1E88E5, #FDD835.
Your Challenge
Create a Pen inspired by this week's palette. You could choose to only use these colors, or use them as a starting point to experiment with a wider palette.
How to Participate
Create a Pen and tag it codepenchallenge and the weekly tag cpc-primary. We'll gather those Pens into a collection and share our favorites on Twitter and Instagram (Use the #CodePenChallenge tag on Twitter and Instagram as well).
Ideas
- In-browser paint tools are fun! Create a paint tool that features red, blue, and yellow on the palette.
- These three colors happen to be part of the Material Design color palette. Could you build a clean, Material-style UI with the primaries?
- Explore or explain how these three colors blend together to create new colors.
Resources
