“Desire to fit a chosen contour,
such as the pyramid, cone,
cylinder or cube, coupled with a
lack of proper test, has led to
many distorted statements of
color relations, & it becomes
evident, when physical
measurement of pigment values
& chromas is studied, that no
regular contour will serve.”
– Albert H. Munsell, A Pigment Color System & Notation
Hue – measured around horizontal circles
Chroma – measured radially
outward from the vertical axis
Value – measured vertically

the complimentary color purple (identified by its
value in the mix as 12)

uses colors which are next to
each other on the color wheel.
This color scheme is usually the

green, and light-green
http://www.tigercolor.com/Images/Swatch_rect.gif

colors on the color wheel
which are evenly spaced on
the color wheel.
