 | | Current styles of teaching color first emerged at a time when new technologies were drastically increasing the availability of synthetic pigments in pure, high chroma hues and when artists were eschewing such extra-visual matters as narrative and iconography in favor of abstraction and formal issues. |
 | | In comprehensive color systems, such as Wilhelm Ostwalds in The Color Primer, these individual charts are then combined into a multi-dimensional chart so that the student is presented with a three-dimensional model, a color solid, which is said to summarize all the possible variations of colors. |
 | | In the Munsell model, a basic hue circle cannot easily be seen because colors are located vertically at their correct value level, hence a saturated violet will be low on the value scale; a saturated yellow will be at a high level. |
