The color wheel, with its twelve divisions, resembles a clock face, with a section located at each hour, so we will use that metaphor to talk about where to put the colors on the wheel. Put 12 drops of red, yellow, and blue into your egg carton, each in their own compartment.
Paint the twelve o’clock section Red, and put Yellow at eight o’clock, and Blue at four o’clock.
Secondary Colors are made from mixing equal parts of Primary colors.
Mix 3 drops of red with 3 drops yellow and paint the ten o’clock section with Orange.
Mix 3 drops of yellow with 3 drops of blue and paint the six o’clock section with Green.
Mix 3 drops red with 3 drops with blue and paint the two o’clock section Violet.
Tertiarry Colors are made from mixing equal parts of a Primary color and a Secondary Color. Placement on the wheel should be obvious by now. Paint each empty section with a mix of equal parts of the two adjacent colors. For example, mix 3 drops Red with 3 drops of Violet to get Red-Violet (also known as Purple).
Tertiary Colors (clockwise) are: Red-Violet, Blue-Violet, Blue-Green, Yellow-Green, Yellow-Orange, and Red-Orange.
