Document Summary

Draws a circle, with a dot in the middle, its colourless in the circle and then the colours are around the circle. If you draw a straight line between two colours you want to mix, this allows you to predict the colour, so you star the middle of the line. But if you put say 75% more green and 25% orange then you will star the area closer to the green. No matter what you will always be inside the circle, it is not even possible in nature to get a fully saturated colour. Any two colours that are across from each other is called complementary colours. So what happens when you mix these colours. You will end up right in the middle of the circle if you add 50% of each. Which you will then get a gray colour.
