They use color theory. Color theory is a practical combination of art and science that’s used to determine what colors look good together. The color wheel was invented in 1666 by Isaac Newton, who mapped the color spectrum onto a circle. The color wheel is the basis of color theory, because it shows the relationship between colors.

Primrose. Ten parts of white, three parts of green and four parts of yellow will give this light greenish yellow. Another shade is got by mixing one part of orange, two parts of green and five parts of yellow. Burnt Umber is the last mentioned material burnt to give it a darker color.

Stuart Max Walters “The European Garden Flora: Dicotyledons” (Part I) Cambridge University Press, 1989 Apple Green. The simplest way to obtain this is to mix medium chrome green with about thirty times the quantity of white lead, but other greens may be employed with the addition of a little Prussian blue when necessary. Or a little orange chrome yellow may be added to the medium chrome ​green and white lead. A very good shade can be produced by mixing one part of white with four of yellow and nine of green. Implement Blue. This is made simply by mixing ultramarine with white. Barytes and zinc mixed are frequently used for the white, as lead cannot be employed in the presence of ultramarine. Light Blue.

French Green. This is a bright yellowish green, which may be obtained by adding to emerald or deep chrome green about one-tenth part chrome yellow. Yellow ochre is sometimes used instead. Persian Green. This is only another name for emerald green, the vivid and somewhat staring hue being sometimes employed in oriental decorations and being then termed Persian green. Chrome Green. This color can be bought ready made. To produce it by admixture, add Prussian blue to lemon ​chrome yellow in the proportion of about one part of blue to eight parts of yellow.Hermann Jacobsen “A handbook of succulent plants: descriptions, synonyms, and cultural details for succulents other than Cactaceae” Volume 1 Blandford Press, 1960 There are two types of color wheel. The RYB or red, yellow, blue color wheel is typically used by artists, as it helps with combining paint colors. Then there is the RGB, or red, green and blue color wheel, which is designed for online use, as it refers to mixing light – like on a computer or TV screen. Canva’s color wheel is an RGB color wheel, as it is designed for online use. Color combinations Complementary
