Craft a Classroom Color Wheel with a Blank Color Wheel Template

Use this set of worksheets in your classroom to help your students learn about the visual art element of color by coloring the 12 parts of a color wheel.

The color theory worksheets cover:

Primary Colors: red, yellow, and blue

Primary colors are the colors that can’t be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are made from these three hues.

Secondary Colors: green, orange, and purple

These are the colors created by mixing two primary colors together.

Tertiary Colors: Yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green, and yellow-green

These are the colors created by mixing a primary and a secondary color.

Warm Colors are made with orange, red, yellow, and combinations of these. Warm colors remind us of sunlight and heat.

Cool Colors such as blue, green, and blue-purple remind us of water and sky.

Analogous Colors are any three colors that are side by side on a 12-part color wheel. Show the example yellow, yellow-orange, and orange.

Complementary Colors are any two colors that are directly opposite each other such as yellow and purple. These opposing colors create maximum contrast.
