Basic Color Wheel (12 Hues)

Need a quick, no-fuss way to pick a hue? This Basic Color Wheel covers the classic 12-step spectrum—from Red to Violet—including the in-between colors like Yellow Green and Blue Violet. It’s handy for art practice, design prompts, or settling the “which color next?” debate.

What’s on the wheel

Default items (12): Red, Red Orange, Orange, Yellow Orange, Yellow, Yellow Green, Green, Blue Green, Blue, Blue Violet, Violet, Red Violet.

Use it as-is for balanced picks across the spectrum, or tweak it to fit your project.

Practical ways to use it

  • Art warm-ups: pick a random hue for a 5-minute sketch or shading drill.
  • Design constraints: choose a base hue for a poster, UI accent, or mood board.
  • Classroom assignments: give each student a different color to explore.
  • Group prompts: select a hue, then everyone creates something using that as the theme.

Customize it in GoSpinWheel

  • Edit the wheel to adjust labels, reorder hues, or build a project-specific palette.
  • Use weights to favor certain ranges (e.g., warmer colors for a “sunset” theme).
  • Enable elimination mode when you want each color used once.
  • Shareable URLs make it easy to send the exact setup to a class or team.
