[Nfb-krafters-korner] Color Wheels.

[River Woman]

 Just a simple color wheel is very basic and only shows Primary, Secondary, 
and Tertiary color.

To go beyond this, as you describe, is not a color wheel, but a color chart 
which then becomes a major project and is done on a grid. I don't think it 
would be very helpful to our purposes.

Today, you can put most any color with any other color - trends change 
constantly. Someone mentioned the other day that a brown shirt goes with a 
pair of jeans. Yes! That is what I mean. Brown is now a basic color and it 
goes with any other color.  But color is such a personal matter - for me, 
purple, turquoise, and orange are basic colors and I use them with any other 
color.
For others, that would never be a consideration. These days, you use the 
colors you want, when you want, and how you want...why not?  Lynda
