	Design Notes: Color Wheel
		A color wheel is based on a circle that joins the ends of the spectrum and is helpful as a guide to mixing colors.
		The secondary colors are named red, green and blue and are the primary colors of the additive or light color theory (called RGB colors).
		Color can not be used as a background because it would effect the colors in the color wheel too much.

	Color theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditionally colors are represented on a wheel of 12 colors: three primary colors, three secondary colors (created by mixing primary colors), and six tertiary colors (created by mixing the primary and secondary colors).
		The organization of colors on the various color wheels is very subjective, and may depend on whether a particular wheel is used for color perception, color psychology, or color mixing.
		Adding a complementary color to a color on the canvas is the traditional technique for making shadows, as well as for choosing a balance of color overall, so that the eye does not tire from an overuse of red, for example.

		You can also rotate shapes on the color wheel to identify harmonious color schemes, adjust the saturation and lightness of colors, or select a color plan to use for a corporate identity or design project.
		Colors may be selected and applied to both print and Web design – the Sessions color wheel color calculator saves hours of work.
		Each color has a specific property, whether it's the particular wavelength in optical perception, the molecular construction of pigments or an RGB value for a monitor.

	Color Wheel Pro: Color Theory Basics
		According to color theory, harmonious color combinations use any two colors opposite each other on the color wheel, any three colors equally spaced around the color wheel forming a triangle, or any four colors forming a rectangle (actually, two pairs of colors opposite each other).
		The analogous color scheme uses colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel.
		The complementary color scheme consists of two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel.

		It also shows the relationships between complementary colors across from each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other on the color wheel such as yellow, green and blue.
		White light is the presence of all color - fl is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.
		Colors next to one another on the color wheel are called analogous (it means "related").

		At the center of the wheel, the fl square symbolizes the dark neutral color that results from mixing all three subtractive "primaries" together: this is a color wheel for paints, not for light.
		In the standard "color theory" account, the three new paints we've added to the color wheel are the complementary colors to the three "primaries," and this is a fundamentally new color relationship.
		Color antagonism is inferred from complementary afterimages or paint mixtures in which two complementary colors produce a neutral or gray mixture, each destroying the hue of the other.

		In HSV color wheels like the 4096 Color Wheel, hue corresponds to the angle, with pure red at 0 degrees and green around 120 degrees.

		The wheel slider selects the hue component, and the triangle inside (in other programs, it is a rectangle more often than a triangle) visualizes the two other dimensions for the chosen hue: its value, or brightness (vertically), and saturation (horizontally).
		Although colors changing across the rainbow are the visible effect of monotonously increasing light wavelength, the color wheel continuum is all but monotonous.
		Some colors are definitely perceived as independent and standalone (red, green, blue), others need more elaboration to localize (cyan, magenta, yellow), and all the rest are clearly perceived as mixtures or transitions of neighboring colors.

	The 12 Step Color Wheel explained
		The final step to creating the 12 step color wheel will be to create a ring around the newly formed primary and secondary color form.

		Just keep in mind that the colors are seen against a neutral background and that they are displayed in small areas.
