- Identify the primary colors: red, yellow, blue.
- Identify the secondary colors: orange, green, purple.
- Identify the tertiary colors: red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange.
- Locate complementary colors by finding pairs directly across from each other on the wheel (e.g., red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple).
- Note that cool colors (blues, greens, violets) are on the left side of the temperature line; warm colors (reds, yellows, oranges) are on the right.
- Understand that using complementary colors creates vibrancy due to contrast in hue, value, and temperature.
- Recognize that similar colors in value and temperature recede into each other visually.
