I think a cyclical/oppositional representation of color comes from the fact that when you work with color, or more specifically gamut, oppositionally is the only way it makes sense.

I spent two days at Technicolor learning about gamut and color space and calibration; if we'd started with a "color stick" as our point of understanding we'd have been fucked. At least with a color wheel you understand blending.
