Like Rochelle, I have not used one since grade school. I think the delicate colors that we are concerned with have little to do with such rudiments. Many of the colors we deal with take place near the middle of the famous color wheel-in the tans and browns. It's the right greenish grey or slightly pink off-white colors that make the big differences. Color wheels don't help with that. Painters must "burn these concepts upon their hearts" and not keep them in a drawer in a taboret.
