Split Complementary Color Schemes


Split complementary schemes use a color and the two colors adjacent to its
complementary. This provides high contrast without the strong tension of the
complementary scheme.

Triadic Color Schemes


Triadic color schemes use three colors equally spaced around the color wheel. The
scheme is popular among artists because it offers strong visual contrast while retaining
balance, and color richness.

Original Real Color Wheel
This crystal color wheel joins together the colors of
Light, Crystals and Pigments.

Free RCW tif in CMYK, printable zip.

Q. Why is a color wheel handy?


Q. When you're on location painting or photographing how do you use it?
A. In sunlight painting you see your object, you see the brightest color on it and use
the opposite color to shadow it. I think I took the "hit and miss out of it" by having
the correct oppositions. It takes a lot of memorizing to know every color's opposite.
For the Printer and Plotter artists, see the gamma differences between an RGB profile and a CMYK profile.
Compare between an RGB/YMC colourwheel and my RCW Real Color Wheel.

See elements matching crystals, light, and pigments.


The RCW and RGB use the same 36 rim colours but each color wheel gets dark differently.
The RCW matches crystals, the RGB subtracts light, only the tint colors are the same.
Orange darkens to reds brown just like yellow and red darken to reds brown.
Orange gets redder as it gets darker.
Opaque red objects become lighter adding opaque orange pigment.
Orange objects darken by adding cad red or burnt sienna or burnt umber at any ratio.
Cadmium red light changes to cadmium red medium with the addition of transparent
magenta (PR:122)

The raw umber hue is the darkest pigment for color this color I call RCW#36 yellow-
green.
#36 and #1 yellow are side by side at 10 degrees each.

Likewise and opposite..


Cyan & cobalt & ult. blue darken to the same dark blue, similar to the way yellow &
orange & red go to the same brown in the opposite set of 7 colors.
With cyan you have a color matching choice to go from cyan to cobalt to ultramarine
before adding any of the complement burnt umber.

Magenta and green just add their opposite colors to get darker.

Here are correct tint colors - Incorrect shadow colors

RCW tint color wheel is the same as the RGB tint color wheel, only.
The RGB/CMY colorwheel is Not for pigments,
it does not darken as pigment crystals do.

Notice in this table chart how this original crystal matching colorwheel darkens yellow
to warm brown while cyan darkens to cool ult blue.

The primary color Yellow in pigments can shade to either a green Cool Dark, like in the
RGB/YMC light system. Or to a red warm dark, like my color wheel has it for
pigments. The color pigment Yellow must be on the warm side for the artist to mix it
with any other warm color. By adding a cool yellow/green pigment to a warm yellow
color you would lessen the intensity of the yellow and make it muddy.

Yellow to Black in the RGB is very similar to Green's dark in both the RGB and CMYK
colorwheels.
The Real Colour Wheel, RCW, is different. Yellow goes to Red's warm dark brown not
green's cool dark.
As in the Titanium crystal Rutile. Link
There are two groups of thinking among the color theorists.

1) One does not have to be an artist to have an excellent understanding of color, it's a
science.
A) Transparent to opaque and handling qualities aren't as important as the final dried
chip color to the non-artist where as with the artist they are paramount. To the current
scientist the computers RGB and CMYK colorwheel is the basis of all knowledge about
color, it runs the presses but needs some tweaking for the artist using pigments to use it.

A) One does have to be an artist to understand how to change colors in the painting to
match the image being painted. An artist is concerned with pigment handling
properties. An artist needs accurate analogous and complementary colors plotted on a
good logical color wheel.

2) A non-artist once said, "Your point about getting darker towards green is not
accurate. Dark yellows and cyan's may look green but they do not change hue - they're
still yellow or cyan after all."

A) I think this is perceptual problem, the thinking of a non-artist color theorist. The
artist in me can see green as there is an appearance of green as yellow darkens to black
in the gamma chart of yellow and also as cyan darkens to black. If it quacks like a
duck..
Printer and plotter artists, don't miss this RGB-CMYK printing comparison.

The RCW Real Color Wheel is the physical crystal color wheel with the properties of
each color crystal getting darker. This matches the elements color in it's natural
progression to dark. Like crystal oxides containing iron they go from yellow to brown.

Since this is so, it makes the RGB/YMC/LAB colorwheel inaccurate for plotting
pigments for the artist to use as a color wheel in the field. Ult blue must be opposite
yellow and plot opposite yellow, like on my wheel which can be just as accurate for
positioning pigments in relationship to each other as simple RGB positioning, only
better.

The new opaque Irgazine yellow is a perfect warm darker yellow, 36RGB#1.6. While
the new Bismuth yellow is the bright full chroma RGB#1.0 The Irgazine yellow has a
very slight duel-tonality and will mix with it's complement ultramarine blue to a dark.

Look at RCW#36.0, Yellow-green and compare it to the primary path to dark for yellow
on the RGB, they look the same. There is no warm yellow path to dark in the RGB, only
a cool path. On the RCW matrix I put them side by side and use the warm path of
yellow as the pure primary yellow and the cool path as Yellow-green's path. Duel-toned
Irgazine Green is a transparent yellow-green, it mixes neutral with dioxzine purple.

Here are some color examples of crystals that the artist would be interested in since
crystals are pigment and chemicals are made with the same elements.

Calcite crystal, [CaCo3], makes the perfect Cyan color with Copper in the Iceland Spar
Crystal, it polarizes to the color Ultramarine Blue. Yellow is made with Iron, and
Magenta is the Sphaerocobaltite Pink Calcite Crystal made with allochromatic Cobalt.
The Calcite Crystal is also a natural polarizing filter.
Quartz, [Si02], Iron Rose Quartz and Manganese Amethyst both touch on the Magenta
color.
Copper makes Green to Cyan Chalcedonie and the opposite color Red Carnelian.
Allochromatic Nickel makes a cool Yellow Chrysoprase Crystal, added Iron makes a
warm yellow to orange Citrine Quartz Crystal.
Iron will make all three primary colors in the crystal Corundum, [A1203], plus making
the secondary colors Red, Ult. Blue and Green. The Red and Green have added
Chromium.

For the chemical colors and there color paths go here.

Here are some permanent chemical pigments used in oil, water, fresco and
acrylic paints today. Note that Indian Yellow and Gamboge are hue/color

Interactive Real Color Wheel Matching Tube Pigment


Colors in RGB and YMC.

Each colors number relates to it's position on the 36 color Real Color Wheel.
These 36 RCW colors get dark just as they do in crystals.
Opposite complement pigments mix dark shadow colors just as nature makes shadows
on sunlit items.
The top color Yellow is the color numbered (1a.) The number (1b) is a darker version of
(1a)
on the way through the dark middle to it's opposite color, (19a) Ultramarine Blue.
Just as the Titanium Crystal, Rutile

Test your monitor, the top button is the deepest Black.


The lower radio button is White.
Go back to White.

Enter a color name or hexidesimal code, FFFFFF = White (all colors full, the numbers
000000 = black (no color). Use numbers in groups of 33 to be web safe. Examples:
FF0000 is red, 990000 is a dark red color red and no other colors, 660000 is a darker
red, 33000 is very dark red. 00FF00 is green, 0000FF is blue, CCCCCC is neutral gray.
I think a spectroscope of dried pigment color would show all colors to be unpure.

I think a spectroscope of dried pigment color would show all colors to be unpure, this
can't always be shown on the web. The percentage CMYK was from mathamatical
printed chart and matched to the tube color by eye..

I matched the dried chip color to the computer by eye. It's close enough to paint with a
computer tablet and compare the relationships of similar colors in pigments.

I matched the pigment tube color dry by eye to RGB color and read it with a Digital
Color Meter.

Top-tone is adding White to the color. Under-tone is adding clear. Mass-tone is thick out
of the tube.

1d. Old Holland Indian Yellow-Brown Lake Extra. It makes a good dark triad neutral,
but not a strong Yellow, more like a Cadmium Yellow Middle Under-tone. (Old Holland
Indian Yellow Brown Lake, has a Warm Tan Ocher top-tone with a Middle Cadmium
Yellow undertone. It makes a poor Orange but will turn Ultramarine Blue to a nice
Neutral Dark if that is all you had on a three color palette.) We artists REALLY need
this color in acrylics and water colors, not just in oils by only one manufacture. NEW,
Liqutex Quinacridone Acra Gold in acrylics is a little close. A Yellow/side Burnt Sienna
if you will. #"986011", R=152 G=096 B=017.

Painting opaquely, yellow darkens to gold ocher then to deep


brown. All three of these opaque pigments are needed on the
artists palette. One transparent yellow will do it if you are also
using transparent magenta and cyan to paint full color
paintings.

Yellow and orange arcs become dark by adding brown, the


same dark brown that matches the red arc.

Magenta will get dark by adding it's opposite color or the


other two triads, which do combine to make the complement
opposition secondary color, green.

Magenta arcs change to cyan by adding cyan in 22%


increments. Equal amounts of transparent magenta and cyan,
arc #19, having 100% of each color, make an ultramarine blue
transparent hue. 66% less magenta, three arcs over plus the
100% cyan make a transparent cobalt blue hue.

The cyan arc darkens first to cobalt blue, than ultramarine


blue before becoming neutral. From that ultramarine hue
darker, add the same burnt umber that gets the ultramarine
blue arc darker. So #19 through #25 get dark to the same color
before becoming dark neutral. Just like #1 through #7 get dark
to the same color.
