Color Wheel Poster
This is the plain, dependable version of the color wheel, done properly. Twelve segments in the correct RYB order, each labeled, printed so the hues land where they belong instead of wherever the printer felt like. No infographic clutter, no inspirational quote bolted underneath.
It earns its place above an easel by being right. Students check it before mixing. Painters check it halfway through a piece. And because the dimensions match common store-bought frames, hanging it takes about ten minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does RYB mean here?
Red, yellow, blue. It's the traditional pigment model taught in nearly every beginning art class, where mixing pushes colors toward brown and black. Screens work the opposite way, adding light toward white.
Where should I hang it?
Wherever color decisions happen. Above an easel, beside a sewing machine, at the front of a classroom. Close enough to check at a glance mid-project.
Will it match what I see on my monitor?
Not exactly, since screens emit light and prints reflect it. The relationships within the wheel stay true, though, and that's the part that matters when you're learning how hues relate.
