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.
