Color Wheel

Color Wheel  

Definition: A Color wheel is a diagram that shows color relationships using pigments. Color is the reflection of light off a surface, for color to exist there must be light, sight and surface.

Explanation: By mixing the primary colors (red, blue and green) one can create the color wheel. Each mixture will generate a new color. For example, a mixture of a lot of yellow and a little red will produce yellow orange, by mixing equal amounts of both colors one will achieve orange and by adding more red than yellow, red orange will be produced.
