The color wheel is further segmented into active and passive hues. Secondary and tertiary hues can then be created by mixing three primary colors (traditionally red, yellow, and blue). These are all of the standalone colors that cannot be created by mixing other hues. The colors are arranged in a chromatic sequence, with complementary shades opposite one another. The popular color wheel simplifies the shades into 12 distinct colors to help illustrate the variations.Īrranged in a circle with 12 sections, the wheel presents a visual representation of the primary colors in the following order: blue, blue/green, green, yellow/green, yellow, yellow/orange, orange, red/orange, red, red/purple, purple, blue/purple.
