Colour-wheel paint palette

Mix paint on a palette laid out as the colour wheel

A round palette with twelve wells laid out as the artist's colour wheel and a water well in the middle. Put the primaries in every fourth well and mix the secondaries and tertiaries in between, so complements always sit opposite each other. It doubles as a colour-theory lesson.
