The color wheel, established by Isaac Newton in 1661, serves as the foundation for color studies and includes twelve aesthetically composed colors. It categorizes colors into primary, secondary, and tertiary, where primary colors (red, yellow, blue) combine to produce secondary colors (green, orange, purple), with further mixing yielding tertiary colors. The document also briefly touches upon color harmonies created by combining these colors.

1. What is
Color Wheel

2. Color Wheel
The basis of all color studies (color wheel) was created in 1661 by Isaac
Newton.
The twelve colors of the wheel are projected to appear beautifully well
composed.
It forms, also, the basis for the RED, YELLOW, and BLUE or ARTISTIC
color model.
Two or three of these colors together create Color Harmonies.

4. Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Colors
Pick an apple or anything and stare at it for about a minute.
Then look at a white wall.
You will see the image you stared at, but not in the unusual colors.
What you’ll see is the image but articulated now in its complementary
colors
To make this wonder more concrete, colors are generally divided into
primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.

5. Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Colors
Primary colors are the lowest, most important colors in the RYB(RED,
yellow and blue.
By mixing two of the primary colors, we create secondary colors: green,
orange, and purple.
Mixing primary and secondary colors together creates the other six
colors, the tertiary colors.
