What is Color Wheel?
Color Wheel is a great tool for understanding the basics of color theory. This tool can help to visualize relationships between colors in a standard, schematic way. It makes understanding colors and their relations with each other, like how they are co related to each other and how two or three colors can be combined with each other. The color circle is basically made with the formation of primary, secondary and tertiary colors.
Primary Secondary and Tertiary Colors
1. Primary Colors
The primary are those color which can not be formed by mixing any two or three colors. The three primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.
2. Secondary Colors
Secondary colors are the colors that are formed by mixing any two primary colors. By mixing primary colors we can get Orange, Green, and Purple.
3. Tertiary Colors
A primary color and a secondary color are mixed to generate tertiary colors. More precisely, a tertiary color is created when a primary color mixes with a secondary color that is adjacent to it in the color wheel.
