History of the Color Wheel
The first color wheel has been attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, who in 1706 arranged red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet into a natural progression on a rotating disk. As the disk spins, the colors blur together so rapidly that the human eye sees white.
Modern-Day Color Wheel
Colors opposite each other on the wheel are called complementary colors. Analogous colors, those next to each other, can also be combined successfully.
