In ol' Color 101 and in my early painting classes I never learned that
any one primary color had to be placed on top of the color wheel. It is
more important to understand that it is a 'wheel' and that the three
primary colors are placed triangularly. I usually review this on a
blank wheel with students reviewing primary, then secondary, then
tertiary colors. However there are 'real' problems in teaching this
model and getting non-murky intensities when color mixing. I have
attached a website which explains this and communicates some other
models.
