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.

∙ 10y agoArtists do not use the color wheel. STUDENTS use the color wheel to learn about color harmony. The direct compliment of blue is orange, so blue is directly opposite of orange on the color wheel. Mixing two compliments (blue and orange) will give you a neutral color, gray (brownish, if using cheap paint). This is only one simple example of a color wheel's use. Again, a color wheel is for the learning of color harmony.
