Colors that are related to each other are analogous. They are neighbors on the color wheel and share a common color. For example, blue violet, violet, and red violet. they all contain red.

The Violet (a secondary color) has been made by mixing red and blue (both primary colors).

The blue-violet and red-violet (both tertiary colors) have been made by mixing the secondary color (Violet) with the primary color included in it's name.

They are analogous, or relatives, because they all contain red.

This holds true for any three colors on the color wheel which directly in contact with each other. See the related link for more on mixing colors.
