A short-form series on the color wheels you've never heard of, and why they were built. Each episode covers one wheel: what problem it was solving, who made it, and what it gets right or wrong. New episodes every Wednesday.

Most color wheels promise to solve one or more of the following problems: predicting mixtures, choosing harmonious colors, and visualizing how colors relate in space. Most fail. So which one actually earns a place in my studio? In the ninth installment of Color Wheel Wednesday, I put the well-known Color Wheel Company wheel to the test... and then show you the chart I actually reach for: Bruce MacEvoy's Wheel from https://handprint.com, a rigorous map of ~80 watercolor pigments plotted using CIECAM02, one of the best perceptual color appearance models available. One caveat: MacEvoy's chart is watercolor only. For a broader pigment database across media, check out https://artistpigments.org.
