Color Wheel

The subject of using a color wheel came up in one of my online groups today, so I thought I'd get back to basics and share this color wheel with info on how to use it.  These handy devices are helpful not only for art --  but also for decorating your home or selecting outfits and accessories.  Enjoy!

The following pairings can be interesting to try:

Colors directly next to each other (i.e. yellow and yellow-orange; yellow and yellow-green;  etc.)
Colors that form right (90 degree) angles with each other (i.e. violet and blue-violet, yellow and red-orange; blue and violet-red; green and orange, etc.)

Colors directly across from each other (i.e. red and green, yellow and violet; blue and orange; , etc.)

Colors that form a T (i.e. blue, orange, and violet-red; yellow, violet, and red-orange; yellow, blue-green, and red-orange, etc.)
Colors that form an X (i.e. blue, orange, violet-red, and yellow, violet, blue-green, and red-orange, etc.)
