Color Wheel Activity

Color psychology is the insight on how people view the world, as colors have a huge impact on emotions. To follow up on learning all about the psychology of color, myself and my classmates were tasked with making a color wheel using Nilla wafers, white icing, and food coloring. By strategically mixing the proper amounts of red, yellow, blue and green food colors, my group and I were able reproduce the 12 colors from the color wheel.

Additionally, my group had to take pictures of the different color harmonies: complimentary, analogous, and triadic. Complimentary colors are any two colors that are opposite from each other on the color wheel. Analogous colors are any three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Triadic colors are any three colors that form a  triangle on the color wheel.
