this video is on how to use color wheel you the color wheel only has colors that are actual Hughes not why black or brown gray those are not really officially considered colors on a color wheel and you want to able to use colors in an interesting way that looks good together so colors that are close to each other on the color wheel such as orange and yellow are analogous colors you can also use a color scheme that is basically one color  and that color it doesn't have white with it or silver grey black with it but that's called monochromatic because that's mono as in one and chromatic Chrome is color so that's one color so we have monochromatic for one color analogous for two colors that look good too are there and then you also have opposites on the color wheel so that's called a complementary color scheme there's other color schemes with these main ones that we're going to concentrate on so yeah whatever is straight across the street across from yellow would be purple or a cost from flu is orange and across from Red would be green and that kind of color scheme is really usually pretty exciting because  it's very eye-catching and I usually kind of orange and blue you could do that that's probably the most eye-catching the color scheme that artist typically use  so if you're interested on what you should be making it look good you have to come to think of the mood that you're trying to create and then that way you can choose the colors to go with your work
