Over at The Bargellist, an experiment has just concluded. Instead of using the usual re-blue-yellow color wheel, the CYMK wheel was used to create three Bargello designs.
The interesting thing about this color wheel is that complementary color pairs are different. instead of red and green being complements, the complement pair is red and aqua green. You can see other combinations based on this system in the 23-in-1 Color Wheel (reviewed here) as well as in books from quilter Joen Wolfrom.
I’ve always wondered what these combos might look like — now I know!
