The Color Wheel

The color wheel is a great too for creating color combinations. It is a circular arrangement of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. One half of the wheel is warm colors and the other half is cool colors.

Color Grouping:

Primary Colors-Red, Yellow, and Blue


Secondary Colors-Green, Orange, and Purple
Formed by mixing primary colors

Tertiary Colors-Yellow- Orange, Orange-Red, Red-Purple, Blue-Purple, and Blue-Green
Formed by mixing a primary color and a secondary color.

 

The color wheel is a great tool for picking complimentary colors. If you pick two colors opposite each other, for example, green and red, they compliment each other. The green makes the red to appear more intense. These combinations are natural attention grabbers, and are especially useful in packaging and advertising.

You might also want to consider setting the mood with color.
