Chagall's Wonderful Quote on Color

I love how memory works. I was trying to simply explain the color wheel to one of my students when suddenly the quote from Marc Chagall popped into my head-- "All colors are friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites." It's a quote that I came across while in college and thought was great. Problem solved!

  1. Have to remember that. Not much more is needed.
    Just a short remark: The colour circle is not quite correct, the red, if meant to be a basic red, should be magenta, the blue should be cyan, like the basic colors for printing. Nothing else works in mixtures.
