The Color Circle

WARNING: Depending on your monitor, the colors may or may not be accurately represented when you look at this page. They should, however, be close enough for you to get a pretty good idea of what the color circle is about.

In class, I call this "Newton's Revised Color Circle". It is organized to demonstrate the laws of additive color mixture. Complementary colors are opposite each other on this circle. It's different from the color circle in your textbook, which shows "opponent colors" opposite each other (see Opponent Process Theory.) For more important information about the color circle shown here, come to class.
