Color

Colors affect us in numerous ways, both mentally and physically. A strong red color has been shown to raise the blood pressure, while a  blue color has a calming effect.
Being able to use colors consciously and harmoniously can help you create spectacular results.
The color wheel or color circle is the basic tool for combining colors. The first circular color diagram was designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666.

A color wheel (also referred to as a color circle) is a visual representation of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship. Begin a color wheel by positioning primary hues equidistant from one another, then create a bridge between primaries using secondary and tertiary colors.
These terms refer to color groups or types:
Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colors


In the RYB (or subtractive) color model, the primary colors are red, yellow and blue.


The three secondary colors (green, orange and purple) are created by mixing two primary colors.


Another six tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colors.
