Color wheelies

As I've mentioned many times here (more if you factor in the deletions) that I use the Munsell Color System as the basis of my color mixing in painting and teaching. My students are able to quickly grasp the concepts and transform their abilities to match what they see before them.

The traditional color wheel is limited because it is optically incorrect. The fact it is still widely used to teach students is amazing considering the Munsell Color Wheel is almost universally accepted in all industries dealing with color.
