The following color chart is designed as an aid to help map taste properties for the art of blending cider. The first chart is for your printing at blending time. The second chart is an example I made using the apples (or ciders) from my orchard in lower New York State.

Notes: Painters know the importance of "COMPLIMENTARY COLORS" and if you are going to use this chart in the art of blending this is the
most important skill to learn and practice. The complimentary color is the opposite of the primary color. This color is a secondary color. Green is the opposite color of red; Orange is the opposite of blue, Purple is the opposite of yellow. These "opposite colors" create contrasting poles for finding balance. For example, if you have a lot of red in a painting, green colors will counteract the "redness." Similarly, if you have too much acid in a cider, bittersweets will offer balance. (This is why old-timers always include crab-apples in ciders made from conventional eating apples.)
Once you get a feel for blending colors and using color-relations you will be on your way to constructing a painting. This is true for cider and wine blending too. Hope this helps.
