Primary, secondary, tertiary, and complimentary colors in classes. My first attempt at using classes.

---

I wrote a program that shows primary, secondary and tertiary colors using classes.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

I figured out how to call a variable from one class to another class. I created a 2D list for each color and a separate print class. I added in main(). It cuts the code from 285 lines to 50 lines.

class ColorTypes:
    a = b = c = d = e = f = g = ''


    def choice(self, color, prisec='primary', primaryone='Red', primarytwo='None', secondaryone='None',

        ColorTypes.a = color
        ColorTypes.b = prisec
        ColorTypes.c = primaryone
        ColorTypes.d = primarytwo
        ColorTypes.e = secondaryone
        ColorTypes.f = complimentary

class print_color(ColorTypes):
    def __init__(self):
        print('This is the color', ColorTypes.a)
        print(ColorTypes.a, 'is a', ColorTypes.b, 'color', 'and its complimentary color is', ColorTypes.f)
        if ColorTypes.b == 'primary':
            print('Primary colors cannot be mixed from other colors')
        if ColorTypes.b == 'secondary':
            print(ColorTypes.c, 'and', ColorTypes.d, 'makes', ColorTypes.a)
        if ColorTypes.b == 'tertiary':
