Terrence Learns About the Color Wheel
After dinner, Terrence got back to experimenting with his new
watercolor set. He liked to mix colors together to see what new color he
would get. His drawings were looking much cooler now that he could
paint them too.
Terrence was also writing down which color mixes were best. He
noticed that when he mixed yellow and blue, he got green. When he
mixed yellow and red, he got orange, and when he mixed red and blue,
he got purple. A lot of colors that he mixed just came out brown.
Terrence was just making another note about color mixes when his
dad came in. His dad looked at Terrence’s notes. “Well I’ll be darned!” his
dad said. “I’ll be right back.”
Terrence heard his dad’s computer go on. Then he heard the printer
printing.
“Look at this,” his dad said. “You’ve re-invented the color wheel!”
“What do you mean?” Terrence asked, looking at the picture his dad
had printed from the computer.
There were three large circles in a triangle. One was red, one was
yellow, and one was blue. There were three smaller circles in between
each two large circles. Between the yellow and blue circles was a smaller
green circle. Between the yellow and red circles was a smaller orange
circle. Between the red and blue circles was a smaller purple circle. The
six small and large circles formed a larger circular shape, or a wheel
shape. At the top of the page was the title: “The Color Wheel.”
“It looks the same!” Terrence’s dad said. “Let’s go get some ice
cream to celebrate.”
