The other colors, which are 7 points on the color wheel, will never cross the center of the color wheel in order to gray them. For the other 5 points on the wheel that are missing, we can create them by mixing neighboring colors. That means that the missing points are not allowed to be squeezed from the tube. In doing so, the painting has a better color unity. In the center of the wheel, we'll have a mixture of the three points of the central triangle. In this case, blue violet, red orange...
