The Color Wheel 2

The video tutorial explains how to create a color wheel, a tool used by artists to understand color relationships. It covers the primary colors (yellow, blue, red), which cannot be mixed from other colors, and demonstrates how to use them to mix secondary colors (green, purple, orange) and tertiary colors.
