Color wheel

Color wheel

The color wheel represents the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors and their relationships. It shows several colors in a circle, where complementary colors are directly opposite each other, like red and green, blue and orange, and yellow and purple. Basic color wheels usually have 12 colors, but they can be represented with more variations to account for the saturation and lightness of different hues. 

Color wheels let you explore colors that complement or contrast each other to find combinations that suit your brand or project.  

Use the color wheel to create a consistent and unique color palette for your website or brand. Webflow’s color picker lets you customize colors and save them as swatches so you can find and use them in your next design.
