Johannes Itten

He lived from 1888 to 1967.
He lived in different places:
he was born in Südern-Linden,
went to Geneva, but returned to Bern
because he was unimpressed about
the teachers in Geneva. Later he gave
lessons at the Bauhaus. 

Itten's color theory is as follow:
It has primary colors: yellow, red
and blue, seconday colors: orange,
green and violet and finally there are
tertiary colors, these are mixes from 
primary and secondary colors.
