Colour disc

A disc of many colours. It may not show on all devices. You can also download the colour disc image with named colours (PNG format, 8.5 MB).

This disc was going to form the basis of a colour poster, but it ended up looking too complex. The named colours are used in the colour mosaic instead, which is a simplified representation of the disc with named colours.
