School and Family Charts: Chromatic Scale of Colors

This vintage educational chart, titled "School and Family Charts," presents "No. XIV. The Chromatic Scale of Colors." It features a detailed color wheel illustrating harmonic complementary colors and discordant non-complementary colors through concentric circles. Below, a larger, overlapping circular diagram breaks down the color spectrum into primary, secondary, and tertiary hues, with numerical designations and descriptive labels like "Red.5," "Orange.8," and "Blue.S." The chart also includes tables of "Colors, Their Combinations and Properties," and "Harmonies of the Complementary Colors." The overall design is reminiscent of late 19th-century educational materials, with a muted color palette and intricate linework, making it a valuable historical artifact for understanding color theory education.
