The color wheel is a tool for understanding color and color relationships.
色環(huán)是一種幫助我們理解色彩和色彩關(guān)系的工具。
The most common color wheel is the twelve (12) hue wheel. A color wheel could have as few as six hues or as many as 24, 48, 96 or more.
最常見的色環(huán)是 12 色環(huán)。通常一個(gè)色環(huán)包含至少 6 種、多到 24、48、96 或更多種顏色。

Primary colors
三原色
There are three primary colors. They are the hues yellow, blue and red. These three colors are the hues that theory can be mixed to make all other colors. If you mix the three primary colors, in theory it would produce black.
色環(huán)中有三種原色。它們分別是紅、黃、藍(lán)。理論上這三種顏色可以混合出任何其它顏色。當(dāng)你把這三種顏色混合到一起時(shí)，理論上會(huì)產(chǎn)生黑色。（譯注：本文的三原色理論基于較傳統(tǒng)的顏料消減型混合體系，有別于計(jì)算機(jī)領(lǐng)域常用的 RGB 光源疊加型三基色體系和 CMY 印刷消減型分色體系。延伸閱讀： 原色 – 維基百科）
Secondary colors
三間色
By mixing two primary hues together you create a secondary color. There are three secondary colors. They are the hues green, violet (purple) and orange. Orange from mixing red and yellow, violet (purple) from blue and red, and green from yellow and blue.
通過(guò)混合兩種原色，你將得到一種間色。總共有三種間色，分別是綠色、紫色、橙色。橙色由紅和黃混合而來(lái)，紫色由藍(lán)和紅混合而來(lái)，而綠色由黃和藍(lán)混合而來(lái)。
Tertiary colors
復(fù)色
The third set of hues are known as tertiary or intermediate colors. These hues are made by mixing adjacent primary and secondary hues. The six tertiary or intermediate colors are yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet, red-orange, and yellow-orange.
色環(huán)中的第三類顏色就是復(fù)色，或稱為三次色。它們是由色環(huán)中鄰近的原色和間色混合而來(lái)。這六種復(fù)色分別是黃綠色、藍(lán)綠色、藍(lán)紫色、紫紅色、紅橙色、黃橙色。
Hue: A hue is the purest or brightest form of a color. Hues are colors that have not been mixed with white, gray, or black. The twelve colors around on the outermost part of the wheel are hues.
純色：純色是一種顏色最純最亮的形態(tài)，是還沒和白、灰或黑色進(jìn)行混合時(shí)的形態(tài)。色環(huán)最外圈的 12 種顏色即代表了 12 種純色。
Tint: The circle of colors next to the hues represent the tint of each hue. A tint is the hue mixed with white. The hue may be mixed with just a touch of white or with so much white that the hue is very faint.
淺色：色環(huán)向內(nèi)緊貼純色的一環(huán)就是各種色彩的淺色形態(tài)。淺色是純色與白色混合后的結(jié)果。純色可以只混入一丁點(diǎn)兒白色，也可以被大量白色沖淡得幾乎看不出來(lái)。
Tone: The next circle of colors represent the tone of each hue. A tone is the hue mixed with true gray. The hue mixed with any amount of gray is considered a tone of the hue.
深色：色環(huán)的更內(nèi)一層就是各種顏色的深色形態(tài)。深色是純色與灰色混合的產(chǎn)物。純色混入不同數(shù)量的灰色，可以得到不同程度的深色調(diào)。
Shade: The inner most circle of colors represent the shade of each hue. A shade is the hue mixed with black. Just as with the tines, the hue may be mixed with just a touch of black or with so much black that you are.
暗色：色環(huán)中的最內(nèi)圈代表各種顏色的暗色形態(tài)。暗色由純色和黑色混合而來(lái)。和淺色一樣，純色可以只混入一丁點(diǎn)兒黑色，也可以和大量黑色進(jìn)行混合。
（譯注：這一節(jié)是對(duì)色彩三要素色相、明度、純度的比較通俗的描述。）
Yellow
黃色
Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts.
黃色散發(fā)著樂(lè)觀、靈性和歡樂(lè)的氣息。暗金黃色可以讓你看見一個(gè)積極的未來(lái)。黃色會(huì)從五彩叢中脫穎而出，并緩緩釋放出樂(lè)觀與能量，不斷激發(fā)出靈感的火花。

Pink
粉色
Brighter pinks are youthful, fun, and exciting while vibrant pinks have the same high energy as red; they are sensual and passionate without being too aggressive. Toning down the passion of red with the purity of white results in the softer pinks that are associated with romance and the blush of a young woman’s cheeks.
淺粉色給人一種年輕活潑、激動(dòng)人心的感受，而鮮粉色則像紅色一樣蘊(yùn)涵了極高的能量。這兩種粉色都不乏感官刺激，令人激情澎湃，但又不過(guò)于張揚(yáng)。用白色的純凈沖淡了紅色的激情之后，會(huì)得到柔合的粉色，令人聯(lián)想到浪漫氣息和羞澀少女的那一抹腮紅。
