Question:

Where do these colors belong on the color wheel?

where do brown, gray, gold, and black belong on the color wheel?

Answer:

The traditional colour wheel used by artists,which refers to the mixing of pigments is a six segmented affair. You will have to draw it out if I describe it in words. Red,orange,yellow,green,turquoise,blue and purple.Any two opposites on the wheel should make brown when mixed,in theory,that is! Some more complex forms of the wheel show the tonal variations ie,light to dark,inside to out doesn,t matter,either way.Other forms exhist with colour saturation being shown instead of tone.Black and grey would appear on these.Gold is more difficult if you consider it as a metal colour but as a yellow to orangey red it would appear in the simple wheel. If you look at the science based colour wheel, which is about mixing the primary colours of light,then you get a different wheel.I have presumed hat you wish to refer to the artist's colour wheel.If you haven't ask again and I can go into more detail with some very good but complex references for diagrams. Ps.for some reason my monitor does not want to spell the colour turqoise in the body of the text,I wonder if I have a dislexyc spillchuck!!!
