About product

Colour Mixing Wheel

An aid for working with color from the brand AK interactive. The color wheel shows the relationships between shades: which pairs stand opposite each other, which are neighbors and what happens when you mix them. It is a reference tool for the workbench, not a consumable. You will find no paint in the package.

What it is for in layering and modulation

The commonest mistake in lightening and shading is to solve both with white and black. White bleaches a shade toward chalk, black dirties it toward ash, and the area loses its color exactly where it was meant to gain volume. The color wheel offers a better way: mix a highlight by adding a warmer neighboring shade, and a shadow by darkening toward the opposite color. That way the whole tonal ladder stays colorful and the individual layers fit together. The wheel also suits the opposite task, subduing a color that is too saturated: a small admixture of the opposite shade is enough and the color loses its garishness without going gray. And when you plan a multi-layer procedure in advance, the wheel saves you several test mixes, because you can estimate the result of two colors before you mix them.

Use

  • Choosing a shade for lightening and darkening without using pure white and black.
  • Subduing a color that is too saturated with an admixture of the opposite shade.
  • Planning the color composition of a figure, a model or a diorama in advance.
  • Quick orientation when mixing your own shades from a limited palette.

Who the aid is for

For beginners who are only learning to mix, and for the advanced who work with a small palette and want to get the most out of it. It is useful above all with figures and everywhere a lot of layering is done.

This is an aid for planning colors, not a paint. Keep out of the reach of small children.

FAQ

No. It is an aid for mixing and planning colors, not a set of paints. You obtain the paints for it separately.

Above all when mixing your own shades. It will tell you what to lighten or darken a shade with so that it does not lose its color, and how to subdue colors that are too saturated with an admixture of the opposite shade.

Yes, it is most useful precisely for a beginner. It breaks the habit of mixing highlights with white and shadows with black fastest, which is the commonest reason why layering on a figure looks dusty.
