THE COLOUR WHEEL

 

Invented in 1666 by Sir Isaac Newton, the colour wheel is the best tool to help us comprehend the colours and to begin understanding how colours relate to each other.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The colour wheel is built on three primary colours: red, yellow, and blue.

All other colours can be mixed from these three colours.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOW TO OBTAIN SECONDARY AND TERTIARY COLOURS

 

Secondary colours are the colours that result from mixing primary colours.

Tertiary Colours are the colours that result from mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour.
