Colour wheels show us how colours are related.  They remind artists how to mix and think about colours.

Primary colours cannot be made from other colours.  Artists create all the other colours of the rainbow by mixing together the primary colours.

5. Secondary colours are made by mixing two primary colours
Secondary colours are made by mixing two primary colours.  Each secondary colour is made from the two primary colours closest to it on the colour wheel

20. A colour scheme based on complementary colours
Complementary colours are any two colours which are directly opposite each other, such as red and green and red-purple and yellow-green. In the illustration below, there are several variations of yellow-green in the leaves and several variations of red-purple in the orchid. These opposing colours create maximum contrast.

30. The Monochromatic colours can be any shade or tint of a Primary or Secondary colour. Reds, yellows, blues, greens, purples or orange can all be mixed to make a monochromatic colour scheme. Black is mixed to make a shade and white is mixed to make a tint.

38. The color wheel above shows the relationship between the warm and cool colors.
The temperature of a color is based on its association with certain physiological and psychological feelings rather than actual temperature. 
For example: a warm orange feels cozy like a crackling fire or a cool blue feels as calming as a sea breeze.
