==Gallery== {{gallery |align=center |width=250 |File:Newton's colour circle.png|[[Isaac Newton|Newton's]] asymmetric color wheel based on musical intervals. Mixing "rays" in amounts given by the circles yields color "z" (1704) |File:Goethe, Farbenkreis zur Symbolisierung des menschlichen Geistes- und Seelenlebens, 1809.jpg|[[Johann Wolfgang von Goethe|Goethe's]] symmetric color wheel with 'reciprocally evoked colors' (1810) |File:Colours in Irish.png|'''Dathanna colour wheel''' with [[Irish language|Irish Gaelic]] colour terms, explaining that {{lang|ga|glas}} ("pale blue/grey/green") and {{lang|ga|gorm}} ("deep blue/grey/green") are distinguished based on intensity ([[luminosity]]) rather than [[hue]]. Similarly, {{lang|ga|buí}} refers not only to "yellow" and "gold", but pale browns as "buff beige" and "ochre", while {{lang|ga|dunn}} is for darker browns. {{lang|ga|Rua}} refers to red of hair ([[fox]], [[Erithacus rubecula|robin]]), whereas {{lang|ga|dearg}} refers to red of [[blood]] and {{lang|ga|bándearg}} is "pale red". Then, {{lang|ga|Bán}}, {{lang|ga|fionn}}, {{lang|ga|geal}}, and {{lang|ga|liath}} all refer to varying degrees of [[brightness]] or "fairness" — without mapping clearly only the English "white" — against {{lang|ga|dubh}} for "dark" or "black". |File:Additive light spectrum color circle (Schiffman, 1990).svg|A color circle based on additive combinations of the light spectrum, after Schiffman (1990) |File:Human Color Wheel by Neil Harbisson.jpg|Human Color Wheel based on the hue and light detected on human skins, after [[Neil Harbisson|Harbisson]] (2004–2009) |File:RGB_color_wheel_with_hue_and_hex.svg|RGB color wheel |File:Color star-en (tertiary names).svg|RYB color wheel |File:Color circle (RGB).svg|Color circle based on the [[HSL and HSV|HSV]] color space, showing all colors with a value (brightness) of 255 (100%). White is at the center, and fully saturated colors are at the outer edge. It is the circular face of the HSV "color cone". }}
