The document discusses the color wheel and different types of colors. It explains that primary colors cannot be made from any other colors and are equally spaced on the wheel. Secondary colors are made by mixing two primary colors and are found between those colors. Tertiary colors are made from primary and secondary colors. The color wheel also shows complementary color schemes which use colors directly across from each other for high contrast effects, as seen in works by Van Gogh and Monet.
