Interactive color wheel. Click to choose a color and explore its harmonies: complementary, analogous, triadic, tetradic. Ideal for composing palettes.
The color wheel is the fundamental tool of color theory. Developed by Itten and Albers at the Bauhaus, it organizes colors by hue on a 360° circle. Click anywhere on the wheel to select a color and instantly visualize all its harmonic relationships.
Color harmonies describe mathematical relationships between colors on the wheel. Complementary (180°) creates maximum contrast. Analogous (±30°) ensures coherence. Triadic (120°) balances three colors. Tetradic (90°) offers maximum richness.
