Title: 5. Colour systems
Course: EN_Colour theory

Sir Isaac Newton designed the first colour wheel in 1666. Artists and designers still use it to develop colour harmonies, colour mixes and colour palettes.

The colour wheel consists of three primary colours (red, yellow and blue), three secondary colours (colours produced when primary colours are mixed together: Green, orange, purple) and six teritiary colours, colours produced from primary and secondary colours.

Learn colour theory and how to choose colours that work well together: with the colour wheel, colour harmonies and colour palettes.
