Daler-Rowney Artists' Colour Mixing Wheel Guide, 5.12in - 13cm, Ideal for Professional Artists, Students & Hobbyists

I am someone who has very little idea of putting together a stylish wardrobe. I read somewhere that a colour wheel is a good resource to have at hand. It enables you to brainstorm different colour combinations for whatever you are working on. For this purpose, this colour wheel is an excellent tool. This particular one has been made in the USA and comprises two card discs that rotate around a centre. On one side, you can learn about colour MIXING. On the other side, you can learn about COMPLIMENTARY colours. The quality is slick and it is very easy to use once you give it a quick once-over. I would highly recommend it to any art student, design enthusiast or someone like myself who is clueless about colour combinations and is looking for ideas to put together a decent wardrobe.

Very easy to use

This colour wheel is packed with useful information and, whether you're a beginner or experienced, it's handy to have around. one side of the wheel gives a colour mixing guide. This will indicate the colours resulting from adding any of the primary colours or black and white to any of the 12 colours of the wheel, which is unbelievably useful. It also shows a gray value scale in 10 increments from black through to white which, again is a superb feature. The other side of the wheel is where it gets really good - not only does it explain (in quite small writing) the relationships between the colours of the wheel, but gives indications of shade, tone and tint for each one, as well as indicting clearly the relationship of various colours to the colour selected on the wheel. It is, I have to say, a little flimsy - the card it's printed on hasn't stayed particularly flat - but it is incredibly useful. So long as you aren't throwing it around, or stuffing it into a backpack everyday, this should last a while.

The colour wheel is printed on heavy quality card and the colours are excellent. Very useful, quality item.

This is handy to use in art lessons when students need to think about their colour choices. It's easy to use though a little on the small side. It is a bit flimsy so needs handling with care, otherwise it's a great pocket piece to have with your art kit.

This is a useful tool, but it is basic and very small, definitely a pocket version. For the price it's just not worth buying, you can get similar things for free online.

Bought this as a reference for myself as I'm a beginner watercolourist. A friend saw it and asked to have it. I couldn't refuse. Will be buying another one as the size is perfect for travelling. Colours are reasonably accurate and representative considering print quality.
