Color Theory
Color theory centers first and foremost on the color wheel invented by Sir Isaac
Newton way back in 1666. You surely have seen the classic color wheel, or one of
its derivatives, before. Whichever color wheel you have used or seen probably shows
the three primary colors, the three secondary colors, and the six tertiary colors, with
twelve in all. The static color wheel in Figure 5.2 illustrates this. You can find many
interactive color wheels on the Web that will be very useful for you when it comes
time to choose your colors. See the Resources section at the end of this chapter for
