The Natural System of Colours Recreating Moses Harris’ color wheels from the eighteenth century

 Published in 1766, The Natural System of Colours by Moses Harris, is a significant work in the history of color theory. Harris proposed that all colors are derived from three primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. He meticulously explored how these “primitives” could be combined to create a vast array of tints. His work featured two groundbreaking color wheels: the “Prismatic” wheel, based on the colors of the rainbow, and the “Compound” wheel, which demonstrated the relationships between secondary and tertiary colors.
