Beyond the basics of mixing secondary and tertiary colors are the different color schemes. These are:
Complementary
Split-Complementary
Triadic
Analogous
Monochromatic
Tetradic
Quadratic (square)
On your color wheel write down each of the 7 color schemes. Add a brief definition of each one so that you can later identify them if needed. How you label these is up to you. You can draw lines like you see below, or just make a list on the side. You can do a google search for 'color wheel' to see the different methods of labeling. Whatever way you choose to help you understand the color schemes is up to you!
Monochromatic
A monochromatic color scheme uses one color along with its tints, tones, and shades.
