Colour wheel

I brushed up on my colour theory by painting a colour wheel using watercolour paint. 
I learned how to use the Alfred Hickethier system to label the colours, each colour is assigned a number, "whit 000(absence of colour), black 999(the presence of all colour), yellow(process yellow) 900, red 090 [...], and blue 009,"( Anderson 2006.:20). Using this system made it easier to mix colours as I looked at colour in parts/ratios, for example 903 (yellow green) can be simplified as 3 parts yellow and 1 part blue.
