COLORS WHEEL

colors wheel

Color wheel is 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.

PRIMARY COLOR
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 COLOR WHEEL
If you mix each of the primary colors in equal proportions you get the three secondary colors. These three secondary colors are orange, green and violet. These six colors together make up what we traditionally think of as the rainbow, though in reality the rainbow in nature does not have distinct lines between the colors so all colors are present.
THE TERTIARY COLOR WHEEL
A tertiary color is a color made by mixing one primary color with one secondary color, in a given color space. Unlike primary and secondary colors, these are not represented by one firmly established name each, but the following examples include some of the most popular.
