[[Ready for a colorful adventure?]]
</div>In the beginning, Black and White were lonely. They needed friends to share their life with, so they created [[The Colors]].First came the primaries, Red, Yellow, and Blue. They were the foundation for all that [[came next.]]<img src=https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6900498f5130da4e67ada2/32bb0b3c-d813-454e-972e-02adc4642884/primaries.png?format=2500w width=100%>
With a bit of Red and Yellow, Orange was made next. Blue and Yellow also combined to create Green. And finally, Red and Blue collaborated to make Purple. The secondary colors were a mix of all that [[came before.]]Every color had a place together, on The Wheel. The Wheel kept the colors balanced and Black and White oversaw [[the spectrum.]]But one day, the Wheel (text-style:"shudder")[cracked.] The Primaries abandoned their spots stating, “We are not appreciated as the foundation of the Wheel.”<img src=https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b6900498f5130da4e67ada2/85309abc-e65c-42ce-9041-e3c3074c963c/crackedcolorwheel.png?format=2500w width=100%>
With the Primaries gone...(click-replace: "With the Primaries gone...")[With the Primaries gone, the other colors were lost! Red, Blue, and Yellow mixed to create all of them, and their absence affected the entire Wheel.
All that was left was a fractured Color Wheel, and Black and White were [[devastated.]] ]
Violet, one of the Secondary colors created by Blue and Red, saw that its color family was hurting and decided to help mend the rift.
“Violet! You have to help fix the Color Wheel,” exclaimed Black and White. “You are the only one who can convince the rest to return!”
Will you help Black and White fix the Color Wheel?
[[Of Course! Anything to help out.]]
[[I don’t know where to start…]]
“You must chase after Red, Yellow, and Blue! Without our foundation, the rest of the colors will slowly disappear.”
determined to convince the Primaries of their importance and work together to save the Color Wheel.
[[Let's start searching->Act 2]]“You must chase after Red, Yellow, and Blue! Without our foundation, the rest of the colors will slowly disappear.”
So, Violet heads off into the distance, determined to convince the Primaries of their importance and work together to save the Color Wheel.
[[Let's start searching->Act 2]]“Where could they be hiding?” Violet asks. Looking around, Violet thinks they saw the Primary colors head off towards the West, but there is a peculiar trail of yellow flowers leading off to the East. Which way should Violet go?
[[Follow the yellow flowers]]
[[Follow your hunch, go West]]After following the trail of yellow flowers, Violet comes across a small garden. Roses, daisys, hydrangeas, and poppies cover the ground. Violet sees Yellow, Blue, and Red off in [[the distance.]]Violet heads west, hoping the Primaries are not too far away.
(click-replace: "far away.")[far away.
Well, it’s been hours, but still no sign of the Primary Colors. No sign of color at all! Violet decides to turn around and follow the trail of [[yellow flowers->Follow the yellow flowers]]. ]
“Hello!?” Violet shouts.
“Oh hi Violet, how lovely to see you,” replies Yellow. Red and Blue sit protectively in front of Yellow, surrounded by flowers.
“I’m so glad that I found you! The Color Wheel cracked after you all left. You <i>must</i> come back,” Violet states after rushing closer. (click-replace: "rushing closer.")[rushing closer.
“We can’t come back, we already settled in our new garden. It’s full of flowers in all shades of yellow, blue and red,” cooed Red. Red and Blue did not look like they wanted to leave their garden paradise.
“You must come back,” exclaimed Violet, “The three of you are the foundation for every other color. Without you, the Color Wheel cannot [[stay together.”]] ]
“We haven’t been appreciated. Green doesn’t even acknowledge that Yellow and I mixed to create them,” sneered Blue.
You are shocked by Blue’s stubbornness. What should you reply?
[[“Of course Green knows that they would not be here without you or Yellow”]]
[[“Green is devastated that you all left!”]]“I don’t believe you, and most importantly, I will not go back with you,” Blue said.
“Oh, I don’t know, we have been kind of lonely here, with only our flowers.” Yellow looked at the collection of blossoms, mimicking the trio of Primaries.
“Oh you must come back. I am so thankful that you, Red, and Blue mixed to create me.” Violet was a very good looking color, both warm and cool, with a richness that couldn’t be replicated.
[[Red looked around.]]
Blue looked shaken. They didn’t know what to make of this realization. They didn’t want any color to feel that way because of Red, Yellow, and Blue’s [[actions.]] Red looked around. The lack of vibrant oranges and scarlets, turquoises and limes, made the garden a bit lackluster. “I think we could do with more flowers. Even if it means returning to the Color Wheel.”
“I am dying to catch up with Indigo,” stated Yellow.
“Black and White would not welcome us back. They are too proud.” said Blue.
“Black and White begged me to chase after you,” Violet pleaded.
Blue looked surprised, (click-replace: "Blue looked surprised,")[Blue looked surprised, “they really want us to come back?"
[[“Once they saw you leave, the other colors were lost without you to guide them,” said Violet.]]
[[“Black and White need the Primaries back. Who else could keep everyone together?” Said Violet.]]]
“I can’t believe we caused this rift in the Color Wheel,” Red said quietly.
Yellow looked to Blue, “We must go back. If we go back, maybe the other colors will want to talk. We can fix the wheel”(click-replace: "the wheel.")[the wheel."
Blue looked to Red. They were ashamed of how they reacted. All this time, they didn’t realize the support they had from all the colors they helped mix. “We should return to the Color Wheel. Maybe with our help, we can fix this fracture and [[restore the balance.]]]
“If Black and White needed us so badly, they would seek us out themselves.” Blue was not thrilled that Wheel has fractured, but they were not going to come crawling back after they just found their garde. “Besides, who would keep our garden alive here? It needs constant tending.”
“Surely we could take a few seeds back with us to the Wheel,” Yellow suggested, “we can begin the garden anew, with more colors.”(click-replace:"more colors.")[more colors. That does sound like an admirable pursuit, Red thought. With a new garden and new seeds, maybe we could help other colors bloom. “We have to return, even if we must leave this garden. Starting over won’t be as [[difficult as it seems.]]]
Yellow shouted excitedly, “We have to fix the <i>whole</i> Color Wheel.”
So Red, Blue, and Yellow... (click-replace: "So Red, Blue, and Yellow... ")[So Red, Blue, and Yellow ashamed by their rash actions, headed back to the Wheel to mend their mistakes. Yellow had in their arms, a small bouquet of flowers, hoping to mend the sore hearts.]
[[Act 3]] Yellow looked to Blue, “It seems you’re outvoted. We will return to the Color Wheel and try to mend sore feelings.”
Violet looked ecstatic, “Amazing! I know that a new garden will help bring us all together.”
So with that decided, Red, Yellow, Blue, and Violet headed back to the Color Wheel, ready to fix the rift between the colors.
[[Act 3]]Red, Yellow, Blue, and Violet made their way back to the fractured Color Wheel.
Black and White saw them return and with a shout, ran to [[meet them.]]“How did it get to this point? I never knew that us leaving would cause a rift with the other colors. I always thought Green resented us,” Blue shared.
Yellow looked sad, “If we didn’t leave, maybe we could have talked through our differences.” (click-replace: "our differences.")[our differences."
Red was not convinced. “Why didn’t Green share how they were feeling? We mixed to create the other colors, but no one ever wanted to talk to us!”
Violet wanted to convince Red, Yellow, and Blue that they were appreciated,
[[“We need you to come back. The Color Wheel can never be the same without you.”]]
[[“Green, Orange, and I are only here because you mixed to create us!”]]]
Red was adamant, “We grew this garden to be our sanctuary. We can’t just abandon it now.”
“Oh, I don’t know, we have been kind of lonely here, with only our flowers.” Yellow looked at the collection of colorful blossoms.
Blue glanced around at their garden. Red and Yellow planted the roses and daisies, while Blue planted the hydrangeas. “The Color Wheel may have a rift, but with our garden, we finally feel [[at home.”]]
“We know that, but we thought no one appreciated us,” Red said quietly.
Yellow looked to Blue, “We must go back. If we go back, maybe the other colors will want to talk. We can fix the Wheel.”
[[Blue looked to Red.]]Yellow looked around. The lack of vibrant oranges and scarlets, turquoises and limes, made the garden a bit lackluster. “I think we could do with more flowers. Even if it means returning to the Color Wheel. And think of the other colors, they need us.”
“I am dying to catch up with Indigo,” Blue said.
“We could bring back seeds and plant a whole new garden by the Wheel. With the other colors, we could grow the whole rainbow!” [[Violet suggested.]]Yellow looked to Red, “It seems you’re outvoted. We will return to the Color Wheel and try to mend sore feelings.”
Violet looked ecstatic... (click-replace: "Violet looked ecstatic... ")[Violet looked ecstatic, “Amazing! I know that a new garden will help bring us all together.”
So with that decided, Red, Yellow, Blue, and Violet headed back to the Color Wheel, ready to fix the rift between the colors.
[[Act 3]]]
Blue looked to Red. They were ashamed of how they reacted. All this time, they didn’t realize the support they had from all the colors they helped mix. “We should return to the Color Wheel. Maybe with our help, we can fix this fracture and restore the balance.”
Yellow shouted excitedly, “We have to fix the <i>whole</i> Color Wheel.”

[[Act 3]]]“Violet! You convinced them to come back! We can finally mend the broken Color Wheel,” exclaimed White.
“Actually, Red, Yellow, and Blue decided to return on their own. They felt bad for the fracture they caused, not only for the Color Wheel, but also for the rift they created with the other colors,” shared Violet.
[[Red chimed in...]]
Red chimed in, “We didn’t realize how much the other colors needed us. We felt so unappreciated, but Violet helped us see where we went wrong.”
“Yes! We were selfish and didn’t realize that Orange, Green, Violet, and all of the other colors really do appreciate us. We were mistaken and want to do better.” Blue stated.
“And I brought back seeds and flower buds to plant a garden for us all to enjoy,” Yellow said. “With everyone’s help, we can grow this garden to include ferns, dahlias, marigolds, lavender, [[and more!”]]Black and White were more than happy to help out. With the Primary Colors’ direction, Violet, Orange, Green, Turquoise, Indigo, Pink, and all of the other colors worked together to plant a large garden. With this collaboration, the Color Wheel finally mended, and balance was restored. (click-replace:"balance was restored")[balance was restored.
Violet was happy that their color family was whole once again.]
