Glad I could help.

That is true, and I get that it should be simple for children. But that doesn't mean that the foundation has to be incorrect.

Just using the simplified version of a correct layout like I showed you should be the way to go in this case.

Of course, most people won't need to know what's colorsystems there are. Itten is none of the less still teached by artschools even though it is this incorrect simplified version of a color space. At that advanced stage, there is no need to stick to a simplified version, let alone a one that doesn't lead to correct results.

Ittens model is just a remnant of its time. And it keeps being shared because of that simplification. But hey, that how history sometimes goes.

I think that's pretty crazy that itten is taught in art schools of all places, except maybe as an example of how models have different strengths and weaknesses, to spark a deeper acknowledgement of the color space in general (as this conversation did for me).

The good news is that now there's two of us. Cheers!
