[Nfb-krafters-korner] Color Wheels.

[Annette Carr]

Linda,

Are you saying that a color wheel is just that, a wheel?  What is it made
of, a round sheet of cardboard or plastic?  Does it have  wedges of color
going around it?  Are the wedges one solid color, or are they made up of the
hues or shades of that color?  How many colors go around the wheel?  Am I
anywhere close?

If my description is anywhere close to what a color wheel is, then can the
individual wedges of color be labeled with its name in braille?  If there
are different shades or hues of that color in the wedge, could a tactile
line be placed between each shade or hue?  

Where can you buy a color wheel, and how much do they cost?

Annette

Okay, I'm having a little trouble with the color wheel  concept - can anyone
say "Wheel of Fortune?"  ((smile)  I mean, Braille takes up a lot of room
and Based on the design of my own color wheel from when I could see, a wheel
would have to be as big as the Wheel of Fortune to accommodate    all of the
primary ,secondary and tertiary  colors  and all of the hues and shades that
result from blending them and Brailled to boot!  I am having a little
trouble wrapping my brain around this.  However, a ring with the colors
printed on card stock with Braille labels That you can sort through might
just work. What do you guys think?

I used to use the DMC embroidery floss quite a bit while doing my cross
stitch.  They have hundreds of colors that they designated by numbers.  I
used to be able to pretty much  tell a color by its number and vice versa.
So for example I could say I wanted 3021 and know exactly what shade of
brown that is.  I only have a couple of those numbers left in my head.  Like
666 was a bright Christmas red.  And, their numbers had no rhyme or reason
to my thinking.  I think they were just the next number in line when they
added a new color, as opposed to having the 600s represent the reds.

But, it would be very cool if we could get a company like that to make up
some kind  of color chart or wheel for us.
