There is also this colour wheel. Though it has been blown up from a tiny pic, and I don't think is a reliable guide to the colours! Imagine it brighter.
This already looks good, but here is a scan from the printed copy.

thank you Detlev
That could be a useful point of reference
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
