The Colour Wheel


                                                        THE COLOUR WHEEL
A colour circle consists of red, yellow and blue. 1666. Since 1666 artists have studied and designed numerous variations of the circle.
There are also categories of colours based on the colour wheel. There are the main 3-part colour wheels.
 
 
 
 
In the 1st group which are called the Primary Colours: Red, yellow and blue in theory primary colours are known for not being able mixed or formed by any combination of other colours with each other.
The second group are called the Secondary Colours: Green, orange and purple mixing these colours together will eventually allow you to make the primary colours.
The last group is called the Tertiary Colours: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green & yellow-green, these are the colours are formed from mixing any of the primary colours with any of the.
In visual experiences, harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye. It engages the reader and it creates an inner sense of order. When something is not harmonious, it's either boring or chaotic in the reader’s eye. When creating a magazine front cover the colours have to link with each other otherwise it’ll look so bland that the viewer’s attention will not be engaged. Colour harmony delivers visual interest and a sense of order.
Complementary colours are any two colours which are directly opposite each other, such as red and green and red-purple and yellow-green. As seen from the picture below, there are several shades of yellow-green in the leaves and several shades of red-purple. These opposing colours create maximum contrast and maximum stability
