 The
ColorWheel is like a rainbow full of many colors. Like a rainbow the ColorWheel
follows a certain pattern. You can make your own ColorWheel. To begin, the
ColorWheel has three primary colors. They are yellow, red, and blue. These
colors form a triangle. Taking and mixing equal amounts of the colors yellow and
red, will make color orange. Mixing equal amounts of the colors red and blue,
will make the color purple. And mixing equal amounts of the colors blue and
yellow, will make the color green. Therefore, the mixing of two primary colors
make a secondary color. Orange, purple, and green are called secondary
colors. To continue to expand the ColorWheel, mix equal amounts of the two
colors which are next to each other. That is, mix the yellow with the orange and
it will be yellow-orange. Orange mixed with red makes red-orange. Equal amounts
of red and purple make red-purple or a warm purple. Then equal amounts of purple
and blue make blue-purple or a cool purple. And to continue, blue and green make
blue-green or a cool green. Mixing green and yellow, make yellow-green or a warm
green. Tertiary colors are made by mixing two secondary colors. Moreover, equal
amounts of all the primary colors mixed together will make brown. A very
saturated color with a lot of pigment (color) will become black. However, the
reverse is true. That is, if there is no color, it is white.
