Color Wheel A color wheel is the spectrum bent into a circle. The Color Wheel describes the relationships between colors and a useful tool for organizing colors It is laid out so that any two PRIMARY colors (red, yellow, blue) are separated by the SECONDARY colors (orange, violet, and green).

Primary and Secondary Colors Primary color: Think of the three Primaries as the Parents in the family of colors. In paint pigments, pure Yellow, pure Red, and pure Blue are the only hues that can't be created by mixing any other colors together. Secondary color: a color resulting from the mixing of two primary colors

Color Wheel~ Secondary and Intermediate Colors Tertiary color – equal mixture of a primary and secondary color. Example: red & orange = red-orange Tint – Add white to make a color brighter, pink is a tint of red Shade – add black to make a color darker, burgundy is a shade of red.
