Understanding Color Schemes With The Color Wheel

There are three primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. These colors cannot be created from the other colors on the wheel, but all the other colors can be created from a combination of these three. They can be hard to live with in their full intensity. A little goes a long way! But a lower intensity version can be calming. Think navy, which is a darker version of blue or cranberry, a darker version of red.
