the primary colors tend to be the largest circles in the wheel. if you look directly across from a color, that is their complimentory color. in-between two of the primary colors, is the color that you would get if you mixed them. sometimes, there are more than one color in-between the two primary ones. those are the colors that would result from adding more of the color closest, when creating the color. I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense.<:)
One would use a color wheel chart for establishing different shades of color and determining what colors to use in a painting. Most artist use the color wheel.
A color wheel is a great tool for understanding color relationships and creating color schemes. Here are a few ways you can use it:
There are about 16.6 million colors in the RGB wheel.
The color wheel ideally includes all possible colors. The only things left off are neutrals. A gray-scale color scheme uses all neutrals and does not appear on the color wheel.

The standard color wheel for artists consists of the 3 primary colors, red, yellow and blue arranged in a triangle, and 3 secondary colors. Secondary colors are positioned around the wheel in between their 2 primary colors, for example purple or violet is between red and blue. Beginning with red the colors go around the circle in this order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.
the color at the center of the color wheel is white
Traid colors are the schemes use three colors equally spaced on the color wheel.
There is no antonym for color wheel.
Primary, secondary, and tertiary colors in the color wheel.
Blue. Red and green are opposites on a color wheel, as are orange and blue. You can use a color wheel to help determine color combinations that go well together to please the eye.
When you use a color wheel, you pick the color that you want and look dirctly across from it, this color means that it goes well with the one you have chosen. If you don't like the color across from it, try the 2 on either side of it. Remember that you don't always have to go for the obvious, be creative, and always be yourself!
