> If you combine red and yellow you get Orange.
> If you combine Yellow and Blue, you get the color Green.  Combine

> Light shades go with light shades and dark shades with dark ones.
> This rule is not hard and fast, but in general it holds true.

> Green.
> If you are very blind, you should get someone, who you respect to

> The color wheel is a tool for helping you to pick out colors even
> if you can not see them, but it is not fool-proof.
> This could be a good little item for Blind people to have to use
> in picking our color combinations for such things as clothing,
> painting rooms and other things when they do not have a sense of
> what colors look like.

> I hope this helps.
