2 EXPLAIN IN YOUR OWN WORDS THE COLOR WHEEL CONCEPT?

The color wheel is a circular representation that helps us better understand color combinations. It helps to shows how various colors are related to one another. And we can also see the why some colors look very alike but there are distinctive differences in their appearance whether very obvious or not.

An example of a color wheel representation

On the color wheel we get to see the different patterns in which colors can be combined namely triadic, complementary and split complementary, analogous, rectangle and square combination of patterns all showing relationship between colors.

Complementary colors - They are opposite one another on the color wheel. Blue is opposite orange which makes them complementary.

Analogous colors - they are places strategically beside one another. With one in the middle and two neighbors. Although distinctive differences are seen, they are almost alike in a way
