The color wheel is really well designed for teaching about color, because it breaks things down into primary and secondary colors, and really shows you how colors combine, or the basic colors, what we call the primary colors, which are red, yellow, and blue, are combined to make the secondary colors, which are green, orange, and purple.

And it’s because the light refractive quality of yellow is greater than any of the other colors in the color wheel. Yellow green, yellow orange, orange, have strong, strong refractive qualities. But yellow has the greatest.
