Basic Principles / Colour wheel

 
The colour wheel helps us define the relationships among the various colours..
The chromatic spectrum visible by the human eye is arranged in the form of a circle through which we perceive the possible derivations and conjugations and the various harmonic relations.

In nature, it is from primary colours like the yellow, blue and red that all colours are derived from.
 
Colour wheel / Secondary colours

From the combination of thesewe obtain the secondary colours.
 
Colour wheel / Terciary colours

From the combination of primary colours with secondary colours we obtain tertiary colours.
