This is my Inventive Subtractive Color Wheel. The wheel depicts the 12 colors of a standard subtractive color wheel and it offers a tint, tone, and shade for each respective color. A tint is the result of adding white to a color. Tones occur when grey is solely added to a color. A shade is a variant of a color that is made by adding black to the original color. Each color faces its complimentary color, which is on the opposing side of the color wheel. There are three primary colors (colors that cannot be made by mixing other colors; they are only their true color in their natural state) which are Red, Blue, and Yellow. There are also three secondary colors: Violet, Orange, and Green; colors made by mixing the primaries. Between the secondary and primary colors are tertiary colors, which are made by mixing two colors which are next to each other on the wheel. This interaction is clearly labeled on the wheel above as "Tertiary."
The color wheel is a balanced example of how color interacts as well as a demonstration of how it can blend. The concentric design serves to show that although separate, the transition in primary and secondary color can be united indeed.
