Does anybody know where I could view/download a comprehensive color wheel or color flow (color making) chart? I'm looking for something that says/depicts "yellow + blue = green, black + white = gray" etc. etc.

I used to have a color flow chart that depicted what colrs made what, and it was very handy--told me what colors made flesh tones, shades, tints, nuetrals, opposites, what 3 colors made 1 color etc., but I've lost it somewhere along the line.

Any help here would be great, and if it's a color wheel geared towards photoshop (RGB), that would be even better.

Thanks in advance :)

If you find one, keep in mind that pigment paint combinations (yellow + blue = green) are completely different than RGB color combinations (where yellow + blue equals WHITE!)
Check GretagMacbeth to see if they offer something like what you want:

Yes, that's why I was hoping for one that was geared towards photoshops RGB color scheme.

At work, we've got a monitor/printer calibration package from Gretagmacbeth that cost $999, but the color from my monitor to my printer is still off. I wanted a RGB chart so I could color correct easier for printing, but as a last resort, I'll make the changes to my printer and go from there.

A good start would be to get rid of the "Auto grey balance" feature on my camera (I know, I know, I'm a bad photographer for not manually doing a grey balance on my field camera Frown )

Well, the link below is basic, and would benefit a beginner. Other than that, looks like I'm going to have to stick with Variations! LOL!!!
