Colour Wheels for Triad Reference
Colour Triads Organised by Reds and Pinks
This year I set my watercolour palette with a consistent set of colours so I could experiment with a finite set of colour combinations and triads. Below is my triad reference page for all the colour wheels I’ve created using:
- Opera Pink
- Quin Rose
- Pyrrol Scarlet
- Indian Red
The list isn’t exhaustive – there are still plenty of triads I could create, but the ones on this page are ones I thought would get the most use.
