Here is my color wheel. It is made up of random images.


And here are my three color change bars, going form CYM to RGB

How to make the color wheel


Step 1 is to start with a square blank image. It can be any size you want.


Step 2. To help us place the images we should make a guide. Start by using a larg fuzzy brush to paint out the 3 primaries, Red Green and Blue like this.


Step 3. Next add the secondary colors, yellow, cyan and magenta between them.


Step 4. Next paint in black and white so our wheel's value will vary.


Step 5 Now start finding images on the internet and pasting pieces of them in that match hues found in the guide. I suggest starting with the middle most saturated colors and move out out the edges.

Step 6. It should look something like this when completed.

Step 7. Now to make it a circle, go to Filters/Distort/polar coordinates. the default settings should be fine. Hit ok and it should whip your image into a sexy circle!
