I just learned today that the San Francisco Academy of Art University is teaching my color wheel in it's Color Theory Program. It all started in 2002 with the International Middle School of Geneva, Switzerland. Western Kentucky University was the first U.S. university to support, commend and subscribe to the Real Color Wheel.

2-24-08, In the past thirty days Northern Arizona University, BYU, Glenn Carleton College, Pittsford Sutherland High School, Imperial College London, University of New South Wales, Kennesaw State University, York College of The City University of New York, Lausanne Collegiate School, United Arab Emirates University and the University of Guelph, Canada, have requested the Real Color Wheel, All About Color course, or color wheel.

morning,
I am interested in receiving a copy of the real colorwheel. I am a lighting designer working in television.
I program a lot of LED lights using RGB values. I need to start learning a bit more color theory. I have been using your wheel on your site but it would be much easier to have the file up on my desktop.
thanks... wdm

Don,
Your site is so great.
I'm going to camp out there when I'm not suppose to be working.
There is a ton of impressive information. Thank you for you laborious research and documentation.
I would like a color wheel file to print for an upcoming acrylic class in May, please.
If the file is larger than 2MB, it may not come through but we may get lucky...
I've had people send me big whopping 6MB power point presentations with fuzzy puppies, cats and ducklings (everyone has at least one friend that does that!)
Take Care,

Great and informative! I'd like to get the zip so i can print out a chart for a painting workshop I'm teaching in April. I'm 21 and just started painting a year ago so I'd appreciate any help I can get, one reason I'm allowed to teach is because I've done intensive research pertaining to all aspects of painting.
