Colour wheel - What is Color Wheel?

Depending on the amount of black and white added, the base color may either become lighter or darker.

In interior decoration, it is a combination or arrangement of colors to fit a specific theme, style or genre.

Another example is green, orange, and purple.

The color wheel is also used by artist and designers as a guide for mixing paints and pigments.

Every decorative color combination can be defined by where it resides on the color wheel, a diagram that maps the colors of the rainbow.

More advanced color schemes involve several colors in combination, usually based around a single color—for example, text with such colors as red, yellow, orange and light blue arranged together on a black background in a magazine article.
