Your color television is based on this idea, but it is the secondary subtractive triad of the RBG with its CMY (cyan, magenta, yellow) colors.ĭid you understand all that scientific jargon? Why? We now know the human eye consists of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) receptors. With advances in science, both in the optical world (color television) (Printing inks) and the biological world, it is now understood that the correct one is the 2nd one called a visual color wheel. One considers yellow as primary, the other considers green as primary. It is your standard wheel you see in most textbooks and in paint stores.Ĭan you see the difference. The first we will call the Mixing Color Wheel. I also have a bunch of notes posted there on mixing certain colors and proportions so I don’t forget! There’s also a very old color chart I created, but due to bad paper, and very cheap watercolors, it’s faded so badly, I can’t use it here.ĭid you know there are several color wheels. Yup! I have Ittens color wheel posted right there.

If you’ve enjoyed my little video on the home page, just look behind me on the wall! You don’t have to memorize it, but have it posted somewhere in your studio for quick reference. Without this knowledge, you will not be able to develop color schemes for your work. If you’re serious about improving your art, you will need to really understand these principles. The importance of the color wheel, and your understanding of it is necessary to improve your painting.
