Color Wheel 2.0


It was ever so nicely pointed out to me that I messed up - I was using RGB (Red, Green, Blue - the primary colors of the internet) rather than RBY (Red, Blue, Yellow - the primary colors of painters/artists). There's yet another set - CMY(K) which is used by printers (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and blacK) I thought the colors seemed a bit "off" but I just figured it was my monitor. Finding the right RGB values to equate to primary RBY is simple, but it got trickier with the secondaries and tertiaries. I think I've gotten it right this time. I actually did a google search to see if I could find RGB settings that would equate to RBY secondaries and tertiaries but came up emtpy-handed. I think this is turning into a bigger mathematical challenge than anticipated!
