Richard,
The color wheel is a standard device for basic color information. It can be
found in it's printed form in any basic design/color/color theory book.
Chances are good that there's one on the web somewhere... although I can't
find it.
I'll not go into color theory, but here is the basic gist on the color
wheel...
Hope this helps,
Paul Clark
