the color wheel

http://realcolorwheel.com/othercolorwheel.htm
RGB and CMYK are the colors that I'm more familiar with. check the link for the diagrams and all. the RGB color wheel makes more sense to me because it involves light and their wavelengths. mixing pigments is not always consistent. different coloring brands give different results. if you go make a website and edit the color, #000000 will always be black, #ffffff will always be white. and btw, i love hexadecimals.

if the color wheel really does work, why is it that we have to force ourselves to create colors take on a particular scheme? shouldn't it be a no brainer if color combinations work well? and why is it that colors that are supposed to clash look nice against each other?

the RYB color wheel was originally created because they realized that if you add red paint to yellow paint, we get orange. but who said that red and green would look great together? why does pink and blue look nice together when they have a weird relationship in the color wheel? just saying.
