A Color wheel is a diagram that maps colors by their relationship to the other
colors on the circle. While colors that are related to each other are placed
side-by-side, complementary colors (colors that are inversely related to
each other) are put on directly opposite sides of the color wheel.
In the color wheel, red, yellow and blue are considered primary colors while
orange, green and purple are secondary colors.
The difference between primary and secondary colors on a color wheel lies in
the fact that different blends of the three primary colors are responsible for
creating each of the secondary colors.
When looking to find color balance in a photograph, it’s important to match
complementary colors.
