color wheels

Hi! I designed a simple color wheel template on Google Drawings and I have been kinda obsessed with making color wheels.

I made a little color wheel template which you can print, cut, and then use. Even if you print it on normal printer paper (which is what I did), it’ll work perfectly well, though it won’t last that long. If you use plastic paper, it would be much stronger.

Cutting paper template with an X-acto knife

Painting the template in

Template in the top left of the document, using three colors

For the template top left (in the template document), you put your three primary colors in and then make the secondary and tertiary colors in the ring around.

Template in the top right of the document, using six colors

For the top right template, you use a warm and a cool of each primary color and then make secondary colors.

Template in the bottom left of the document, which uses two colors

For the bottom left template, you choose two colors and then make the mixes and swatch them in twice. You can make on side transparent, and one side more pigmented. This one is great for two color painting challenges.

Template in the bottom right of the document that uses three colors and includes a spot for an earth tone

And lastly for the bottom right template, it works like the first one except you make an earth tone with the three colors and put it in the center ring.

I hope you enjoy using the color templates. If you have any questions about them, feel free to use the comments. Thanks for reading!
