To make wheel color, you create secondary colors by mixing equal parts of primary colors and arranging them in a circle.
Here's a breakdown of how to create a basic color wheel:
-
Start with Primary Colors: The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. These colors cannot be created by mixing other colors.
-
Create Secondary Colors: Mix equal parts of the primary colors to create the secondary colors:
- Red + Yellow = Orange
- Yellow + Blue = Green
- Blue + Red = Violet (Purple)
-
Arrange on the Wheel: Place the colors in a circle, alternating primary and secondary colors. This creates the basic color wheel. For example: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet (Purple).
