Is a color wheel chart helpful when choosing room paint?

Using a color wheel chart when choosing room paint is helpful as it ensures the selection of complementary colors, according to This Old House. Complementary colors are at opposite ends from each other on the color wheel, and this type of combination increases the brightness of each individual paint color.

A color wheel shows how different colors relate to each other; colors next to each other are the most closely related. A color wheel displays the primary colors of red, blue and yellow, secondary colors that are a combination of these colors, and tertiary colors that combine various secondary shades.
