color wheel

This week's assignment for Print Production and Color Theory 114 was to design a color wheel showing primary, secondary and tertiary colors, with labels and an indication of the mathematical relationships between the colors.

I thought of spherical fountains, such as the one in front of the former Hansen Planetarium in Salt Lake City. The concept behind them is a beautiful geometry. They produce many tiny rainbows in the mists and streams. So, I decided to make my color wheel as if it were a single plane cut out of the fountain, capturing a flash of color.
