[Nfb-krafters-korner] Color Wheels.

[River Woman]

OH, I responded before I read this...yes, the color wheel can be cardboard, 
plastic, or just a sheet of paper with it printed on.  Yes, it is in wedges, 
and yes, it is round.  Yes, why not just put Braille on each wedge?

Once a color wheel is learned, then the student moves on to do a complex 
color chart to learn how to mix colors - this is not a wheel, but an actual 
chart with squares in a grid and can be quite large. But, this is for an 
artist who is learning how to find the exact colors they will need for the 
very minute nuances - not at all necessary for our crafting purposes, or for 
doing a design project.  The art student memorizes these color combinations 
by using them over and over again, until it is second nature. The basic 
wheel should be all we would need to figure out how to do a craft project. I 
think.  Lynda
