Farbkreis

The Farbkreis, or color wheel, is a visual tool that organizes colors based on their relationships. It displays primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and how they blend into secondary colors (orange, green, purple), along with various shades and tints. The wheel helps to identify harmonious color combinations, like complementary (opposite colors) or analogous (adjacent colors), which are often used in art and design to create aesthetically pleasing visuals. It’s a practical reference for understanding color harmony, contrast, and how different hues interact to influence mood and perception.
