ColorWheel

by Ira Greenberg. The primaries are red, yellow, and blue. The secondaries are green, purple, and orange. The tertiaries are yellow-orange, red-orange, red-purple, blue-purple, blue-green, and yellow-green. Create a shade or tint of the subtractive color wheel using SHADE or TINT parameters.
