Artist Color Wheel

This is very helpful and I carry this Pocket Color wheel with me.



On the wheel it shows me
Color definitions:
Primary colors:
Red, yellow and blue-cannot be mixed from any other colors.
   This isn't just a guide to mixing color, it helps me with what color makeup to wear with an outfit. For example, your in the mood to wear purple/violet eyeshadow for your outfit you could wear a yellow top and a pair of blue jeans.
The result of putting opposite colors together is either a clashing or loud feeling, depending on which pair you choose. Below are the opposites for primary colors:


Blue is the opposite of Orange

Yellow is the opposite of Purple

Red is the opposite of Green

Black is the opposite of White
