Description Basic color theory with the color wheel presented as a clock.
Compiled from notes I took on a presentation by Terry Madden.

Important item not included in the presentation: Opposite colors (color that are six 'hours' apart), when mixed, will turn grey! In most instances, mixing in an opposite color to create grey is better than adding black to create grey. It keeps your painting more 'alive'!

Well, it'd be easier if we could use the dropper in PS to actually get the real color, its sorta distorted atm...
