As District Engineer for the BPR's Missouri office, O'Brien had watched as the Missouri State Highway Commission awarded a $1.1 million contract to Koss Construction Company of Des Moines, Iowa, shortly after 10 am to lay 13.3 miles of 24-foot concrete pavement on U.S. Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) in Washington. O'Brien picked up the telephone and called the headquarters of the U.S. Eisenhower had signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 just 1 month earlier on June 29. The Greatest Public Works Project in History produced the greatest decade in the history of highways. Each of these relationships can produce pleasing colour combinations, and there are many more pleasing relationships between colours based on their position on the wheel.Celebrating the 50 TH Anniversary of the Eisenhower Interstate System Part 1 Essential to the National Interest The colour wheel allows us to see at a glance which colours are complementary (opposite on the wheel), analogous (adjacent on the wheel), triadic (three colours positioned at 120 degrees on the wheel from each other) and so on (see below). It is possible to mix traditional primary colours with these alternative colour wheels, though they won't be as intense as pure pigments. As a result, sometimes alternative colour wheels are used, such as red, blue and green, or cyan, magenta and yellow. Note that using red, yellow and blue as the primary colours is not entirely accurate since greens and blues actually take up more of the colour spectrum. Tertiary colours are then created by mixing a primary with a secondary colour. The secondary colours are created by mixing two primary colours – if red, blue and yellow are the primary colours, the secondary colours are green, orange and violet.
Although colours exist on a continuous spectrum, it helped artists to break them down into individual blocks that could be named.Ĭolour wheels show the primary colours (conventionally red, yellow and blue in painting) on the outermost ring. In order to make it easier to see the relationship between different colours, the concept of the modern colour wheel was developed around the 18th century.
