Last post I promised colour grids based on each of the twelve colours of my colour wheel
My red-yellow-blue colour wheel
I had such fun doing these. The saturation increases as you go to the right (dull, muted and saturated), and the value increases as you go down (light, medium and dark). Aren’t those unsaturated squares gorgeous, but quiet, compared to those show-off saturated squares?

Let me know if you like these or find them useful.
Great job with these! They would be very useful to me when I am teaching color theory basics to my college freshmen.
Jessica, I am chuffed that you like them! I would like to develop these further as I could not find anything useful on-line – please let me know if you have any ideas. PS LOVE your work – the abstract leaf works are my favourite.
Thank you so much for these! I know less than nothing about colors, and this helped me understand what I’m really looking at when I’m trying to figure out how to decorate my home.
thanks for your kind comments. i am doing a whole interior design colour scheming blog over at mydeco – with example rooms to show how you can use these grids IN REAL LIFE. start at the oldest one and work forward – and please let me know what you think. http://mydeco.com/blog/author/toadfool/
