What Is a Color Wheel?
A color wheel is a circle that shows how colors are related to each other. It was invented over 300 years ago by a scientist named Isaac Newton, who also discovered gravity!
The color wheel puts primary and secondary colors in a special order around the circle. Each secondary color sits between the two primary colors that make it.
The order goes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and then back to red again. It is a never-ending circle of beautiful colors!
Artists use the color wheel as a tool to choose colors that look good together. It is like a map that helps you navigate the world of color.
