C&T - Studio Color Wheel

Studio Color Wheel

Master color relationships with this oversized double-sided reference

The Ives color wheel system arranges hues by their actual relationships rather than arbitrary spacing, giving you a more accurate foundation for mixing and color theory work. This large-format version from C&T Publishing spreads that information across a 28-inch square surface, making it readable from across the studio and detailed enough for close study. Double-sided construction provides different views or reference systems on each face, while the substantial size works equally well mounted on the wall or flat on your worktable during active projects.

Serious color mixing requires understanding how pigments actually interact, not just memorizing formulaic combinations. The Ives system reveals those relationships through its specific arrangement of primaries, secondaries, and intermediates. Whether you're matching fabric colors for quilting, planning a painting palette, or teaching color theory fundamentals, this wheel provides the visual reference that makes complex relationships immediately clear. The 10.25-inch packaging makes it practical to store when not displayed, though most artists find they keep it visible permanently once they see how frequently they reference it during color decision-making.
