As an Art Teacher, I believe the Colour Wheel is a great resource to understand how to create beautiful colour combos.
The Wheel helps Artists to find the perfect colour combinations for their projects, based on the geometric relationships between colours.
My goal was to create a simple and objective Colour Wheel, that you can complete and use when creating your Art.
How to use the wheel: the colours that are opposed to each other are Complementary Colours and used together, they make things “pop” by giving contrast and intensity to a project. The Colours that are next to each other are Analogous, used as a combo they bring calm, peace, serenity to a design or artwork. There are many combos to create!
I hope you enjoy this new Printable!

To print charts, I prefer paper that is thick enough but will print without problems. I use card stock (110 lb – 199g/m2), acid free, letter size (8 1/2″ x 11″ – 21.6 cm x 27.9 cm). I also try to look for paper that is green friendly and is part recycled. Here some examples of card stock: Neenah, Springhill and Neenah Cardstock.
Looking for new supplies? I’ love these’m so happy with my Arrtx coloured pencils — I have both sets, and they’re among my favourites. The cores are soft and rich in pigment but hold a point well. The pencils are well-made, comfortable to work with, and showed good lightfastness in my sunlight test. They’re also affordable, making them a great choice for anyone who enjoys colouring!
