The colour wheel is one of the simplest tools to help you understand how your paints relate to each other. Even without mixing, placing your colours in the right position on the wheel gives you instant clarity:
• which colours sit next to each other,
• which colours create harmony,
• and which combinations naturally pop.
For beginners, this is often the missing piece — understanding where your colours belong before learning how to use them together.
On the Et Voilà Palette, you’ll find a curated selection of colours that fit beautifully around the wheel. From your bright Lemon Yellow all the way to your deep Violet, each hue has its own place and personality. Even colours like Burnt Sienna and Black play a special supporting role when you’re ready to explore depth, warmth, and contrast.
This simple exercise — placing your colours around the wheel — helps you see your palette differently. It gives you a visual roadmap for future paintings and a better connection to the colours you reach for every day.
If you’d like to go further, I’m creating a short Colour Wheel course where we’ll explore how these colours interact and how to use them with confidence.
It will be available inside the Et Voilà Studios Club, along with monthly templates, guided lessons, and the Creative PAD library.
For now, enjoy discovering the colours you already have — and the magic they hold.
