Here you can see what the new primaries look like: In other words with the split primary colour wheel we use two blues, two yellows and two greens. That way we are sure that we don't accidentally introduce some of the complimentary colour into the mix, thus keeping our colour as vibrant. If we now want to mix a vibrant purple, we use the blue and the red that are biased towards purple. With the two reds, one is biased towards orange and the other towards purple. The one is biased towards green, the other towards purple. Each version of the primary is biased towards it's secondary colour.įor example, we use a yellow biased towards the orange side of the wheel as well as a yellow biased towards the green side of the wheel. In order to do this we use two colours for each primary.
In order to keep our colours as vibrant as possible when mixing our paints we need to ensure we don't inadvertently introduce some of the complimentary colour into the mixture. The concept behind the split primary colour wheel is that our primaries are not perfect primaries, but biased towards one side or the other on the colour wheel.
