Itten's colour wheel

An helpful tool for those who are serious about colour

Itten's colour wheel is a simple and visually pleasant tool invented by Swiss painter and designer Johannes Itten.
It is one of the many colour wheels put forward in the 19th and early 20th century.

Itten's colour wheel is rather straightforward:

In the circle, colours adjacent to one another are harmonic; those opposite one another are contrasting.
