I don't think I posted this here, did I? Anyway You all know the color wheel, right? 'course you do, well, my art teacher asked us to make one but instead of using the same boring circles and squares, we could choose our own theme, and I chose SpongeBob, of course :)
So, it's SpongeBob for the primary colors, Sandy, Patrick and Squidward for the secondary ones, and Gary, a jellyfish and the houses as the complementary colors.
Hope you like it.
Done with acrylic paint, and it's bigger than my printer so the edges got cut off ;(

Nice, though I would've perferred Mr. Krabs for red.

Ya, I know, but I was kind of strict with what "symbol" was representing what color group, and SB was just for the primary colors, so :P

Not to get pedantic, but red's not actually a primary color. Magenta is, a close relative.

Where are you getting your info? Every reference I've seen calls it red, yellow, and blue as the primaries. In fact, red and purple make magenta. You're maybe talking about the base colors in printing presses?

Simple, art class. When we were utilizing only the primary colors, there was yellow, cyan, magenta, and red. My art teacher explained that magenta is a primary color, and red is actually a variation of it. However, because red is considered one of the "default" colors, people tend to accept it over magenta as a primary.

Interesting, have never heard that before. So what color do you add to magenta to get red? I thought the colors you could not "break down" were the primaries.

I dunno. A lot of colors have unexplainable origins. But they all begin with the basic three. Magical, ain't it?
 
Sounds like bull to me, stinko, I've taken a bunch or art classes and red has always be a primary color instead of magenta, so, I dunno.
 
Excellent, and a coincidence I just did the colour wheel in Graphics. I have my colour wheel sheet here, and red, blue and yellow are primaries.

Whatever you think Douglas, it's probably best not to confuse Spongefifi's art teacher. @_@

Yeeeah, I'm gonna have to agree with Mr. B- only red, yellow, and blue are the primaries. Magenta is made from red and purple (which is made from red and blue) so it can't be a primary when it takes more than one color to make it. Right? :)
 
Through proper research, I have discovered that we are actually both right. There exist two variations of the primary color set: the additive (red, blue, and yellow), and the subtractive (cyan, magenta, and yellow).

The subtractive primaries, represented by the CMYK color wheel, include cyan, magenta, and yellow, as well as a key color (most commonly black). This variation is considered the more definitive version, and is used for precise color mixing.

The additive set was invented for a better simplicity and is the more favored and popular among artists. It features red, blue, and yellow, and occasionally green.

AND BEFORE ANY OF YOU GO OFF ON HOW I JUST GOT THIS OFF OF 0% RELIANCE WIKIPEDIA, I ACTUALLY DID RESEARCH MOST THE CITED SOURCES PROVIDED ON WIKIPEDIA'S PAGE AS WELL AS SOME OF MY SCHOOL'S ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA SUBSCRIPTIONS.

My dad says I'm smarter than the average high school student in that I can actually backup most of my arguments. :confused:
 
How cool! :D I remember learning about primary colors and it's so cool you did a SB one.
