Color wheel

An arrangement of colors, based on the order of colors in the spectrum, which helps you understand color. A common color wheel has three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue, three secondary colors: orange, green and violet, and six tertiary colors. It is similar to the Ives color wheel. Other color wheels are the Munsell color system, Ostwald color wheel, and Newton color wheel.
