How to Mix Colors
Understanding
the Color Wheel
( for subtractive
color only )
Most of us have made a color wheel at some point in our lives, so rather than spending a lot of time relearning what we already know, let's just quickly review the major points.
-
In theory, all color can be created using primary colors.
-
Primary colors may be mixed together to make secondary colors.
- When
a primary color and a secondary color are combined, the mixture is a
tertiary color
or intermediate color.
- A typical color
wheel uses twelve colors as points of reference for the full
spectrum of color. A more accurate representation of that spectrum is
the color ring.
