    Thank you for reaching out to us. Right now there is no way to change or rotate the color wheel, but we can see if anything can be done here in future. what kind of problems do you face with current wheel?

    The majority of the theory of color is based on a clockwise arrangement of
    hue beginning with red. So if it was a clock face, red would be noon,
    red-orange would be 1, orange would be 2 o’clock etc. then continue all
    the way around to complete the spectrum with red violet. As far as
    harmonious color pairing, it makes no difference if it is read clockwise or
    counter clockwise because the magic is almost entirely due to geometry and
    set theory. But there are countless reasons why the clockwise procession
    from red to red violet is preferred.
