I'm very interested in seeing Michael's explanation of where the printed color wheel would come in.

Michele:
I believe that for beginning artists, or artists who don't feel they have an understanding of color or value, then the Munsell system is a great place to get that knowledge.
If they were to study the Munsell system, then create for themselves, a Munsell color wheel, a value chart from black to white, and then if they were to take the extra steps of taking each hue, and creating charts that express that hue in its value scale, and express each value of that hue in three chromatic intensities from high to low, then by the time they were finished, they would have a very good understanding of hue, value, and chroma and would be able to apply it to their painting and reap a lot of benefit.
These are tools to learn basics and many people are still lacking basics.
My color wheel is pinned to the south wall of my studio. It belongs in my studio because I created it myself as a tool to understand color.
I don't recommend a color wheel that you did not create yourself because color wheels are typically created by companies who want to sell you paint and not teach you about color.
