Search for the Color Wheel Website. They make colorwheels for art students and sell them in art shops. They also have several publications. Your answer may be there if you wish to research it.
Primary colors are the basic colors from which secondary colors are made, and likewise, tertiary colors from secondary colors. Primary: Yellow, Red, Blue. Secondary Colors: Yellow + Red = Orange; Red + Blue = Purple/Violet; Blue + Yellow = Green: Orange, Purple & Green are Secondary colors. Intermediates, I think may be your tertiary (or Third-ary) colors: Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Red-Violet, Blue-Violet, Yellow-Green, & Blue Green.
Complimentary Colors are colors that sit opposite each other on the color wheel. So if you only include the six colors of the Primary and Secondary colors on the color wheel, they sit around the wheel in this order: Yellow, green, blue, purple, red, orange, and then back to yellow. Yellow and purple are opposite each other, like 6 and 12 o'clock. They are called "complimentary" Likewise: green & red, blue and orange. If you place the tertiary colors in their appropriate spot beteen the others, then they too have compliments, and usually, tertiary colors only compliment tertiary colors--it just works out that way.
