The Color Wheel



A color circle, based on red, yellow and blue, is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first circular diagram of colors in 1666. Since then scientists and artists have studied and designed numerous variations of this concept. Differences of opinion about the validity of one format over another continue to provoke debate. In reality, any color circle or color wheel which presents a logically arranged sequence of pure hues has merit.

The Primary Colors

Red, Yellow, and Blue


In traditional color theory, these are the 3 pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these 3 hues


The Secondary Colors

Green, orange and purple


These are the colors formed by mixing the primary colors.


The Tertiary Colors

Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green and yellow-green.


These are the colors formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color. That's why the hue is a two word name, such as blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange.



Complementary Colors



Complementary colors are two colors which sit opposite each other on the color wheel.
