I am looking at incorporating colours into some templates for
OpenOffice eBook templates and have come across the concept of a
colour (color) wheel. The idea is that colours (colors) that are
opposites on the colour (color) wheel should be used to contrast to
one another.
Has anyone ever developed a colour (color) wheel using the standard
colours (colors) and names of colours (colors) from the OOo standard
pallete? I do not want to complicate things by getting other colour
(color) pallettes.
Alas, color space (as perceived by most human beings) is three-
dimensional, not two, and shaped more or less like a cylinder. (Four-
dimensional, if you include a transparent-opaque axis.) And the axes
aren't linear, either.
There's a reason that color matching is a billion-dollar industry.
