A colour wheel is an important learning tool for artists and hobbyists of all ages.

A colour wheel enables you to see how colours work together. The primary colours - red, blue and yellow, secondary colours - orange, green and violet, and complementary colours that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel such as red - green, orange - blue and yellow - violet. The colour wheel shows where the colour ranges merge, the warm colours - reds and purples - and the cool colours - blues and greens. It helps you confidently choose colours that work well together in your work so the overall effect will be aesthetically pleasing
