The Color Wheel Color wheel is a radial diagram of colors where primary colors (red, blue or yellow) are on one side and secondary (made by mixing two primary colors) colors appear on the other. A color wheel is used to identify, mix and select colors. Glossary of Art Terms, WorldImages http://www.worldimages.com/art_glossary.php
