Yurmby Colour Wheel
T-DES-003-006
The Yurmby colour wheel is more practical than the standard colour wheel. It is based on a set of six primary colours: yellow, red, magenta, blue, cyan and green. These six colours cover a very wide range and also allows for even representation of all colours on the spectrum. All of the following examples are based on this wheel.
Are you able to see the subtle differences between the standard colour wheel and the Yurmby colour wheel? Make a list of what you notice.
