Introduction to the Color Wheel
The color wheel is a circular diagram of colors that shows relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
Primary Colors
Primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. These colors cannot be made by mixing other colors together.
Secondary Colors
Secondary colors are green, orange, and purple. They are created by mixing two primary colors.
Tertiary Colors
Tertiary colors are made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color, resulting in hues like red-orange and blue-green.
Warm and Cool Colors
Warm colors include reds, oranges, and yellows, while cool colors include blues, greens, and purples. They evoke different emotions.
Complementary Colors
Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel. They create strong contrast and visual interest when paired.
Applying Color Theory
Understanding the color wheel helps create harmonious and visually appealing designs in art, fashion, and interiors.
