Personalized Color Wheel

Unlike a traditional triadic color wheel that relies solely on three colors (red, blue, and yellow), the Color Harmony Wheel employs a theory based on five primary colors (red, purple, blue, green, and yellow) to produce more visually pleasing complementary hues. This theory of five primary colors, originally conceived by Pythagoras, also incorporates neutral tones essential for creating harmonious artwork. This is the essence of the Color Harmony Wheel.

The guide is straightforward to use and will introduce you to all the colors to incorporate into your next artistic creation. It highlights the colors you should avoid and assists you in selecting the best complementary shades for your work.

1) Start by choosing your main color and positioning it at the center of the large pie-shaped cutout. You'll see the vibrant hues and the neutral tones that, when combined, will instill a sense of harmony in your piece. The key is to center the expansive pie-shaped opening on the primary color you intend to use most prominently.

2) The "complement" color in the cup-shaped section shows you the ideal color for your focal point. Unlike a traditional triadic color wheel, the Color Harmony Wheel is based on five evenly spaced primary colors, ensuring the complement color is accurate. This is a feature you simply cannot find on a standard color wheel.

3) The small "discord" dots around the wheel indicate clashing colors to use in small amounts, adding a touch of excitement to your artwork and preventing it from appearing dull.

Measuring 8" wide by 10" tall, the Color Harmony Wheel is constructed from sturdy, water-resistant cardboard. As one artist remarked, "The way it blocks out non-relevant colors so you can actually see the combination is genius." Painters, interior designers, quilters, and other creatives will find this tool invaluable.

Painters will appreciate the specific color names typed around the wheel's rim, which serve as a handy reference. Interior designers should keep this guide on hand when selecting wall colors, fabrics, and flooring, as it includes helpful browns and grays. Quilters can hold the color wheel up to their fabric stash to identify the right hues and neutrals for a harmonious sewing project, discarding any fabrics not featured in the openings.

Feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive, with comments such as "I especially like having the reminder of where the different paint colors - Prussian Blue, Cobalt Blue, etc - fall in relation to one another on the wheel" and "The wheel is the only one of its kind I could find, excellent product and delivered promptly." One customer even went so far as to call it a "must-have" for their newest painting endeavor.
