The color wheel is a way of representing the colors of the visible spectrum in a conventional form that denotes different color models. The sectors of the circle represent identifiable colors, arranged in an order roughly similar to their location in the spectrum of visible light. As a rule, the colors represented in the circle are the conditional colors of maximum color saturation, selected from the gamut field of the color model.
The classification of colors in a certain order, using hue, lightness, and saturation, is called a color system . Today, there are various types of color systems (about 47 color systems are known), ranging from ordinary color wheels, atlases, scales, fans, digital tables, volumetric color systems to modern color pantones.
