It depends on the complexity of the color wheel. You can make an accurate color wheel using only 3 colors; red, yellow, and blue. Adding green, orange, and purple can make a color wheel with 6. The standard color wheel that art students are introduced to uses these six plus six more (the tertiary colors) for a total of 12 colors.

A perfectly rendered color wheel will not have a countable number of colors. The colors will be blended into each other, and the blending will be smooth enough that you cannot differentiate where each begins and ends. You can pick out an almost infinite number of colors from the color wheel.

The colour brown can be made by mixing colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel, or equivalently, by mixing all three primary (additive) colours: red, blue and yellow. For example a mix of red and green (which are opposite on the colour wheel, and include all three primary colours, as green is a mix of blue and yellow), will produce brown.

What is the opposite color of purple?

The opposite of the colour purple on a colour wheel is yellow. To figure this out you need to understand the concept of primary and secondary colours. If the colour you have is a primary colour (one of red, yellow or blue) then the opposite colour is the secondary colour resultant from mixing the two remaining primary colours. If the colour you have is a secondary (purple, green or orange) then the opposite colour is the primary not involved in the making of the secondary colour.
