For the practice of painting and for teaching color theory the Pope color system has distinct advantages over other color systems. Within the Pope color solid all the visual attributes of color are clearly represented and can be visually displayed depending on where the solid is sliced. This helps clarify color terminology and facilitates understanding color relationships. It also has practical advantages for the artist who must have some knowledge of color both conceptually and visually in order to realize the possibilities of their arrangement in a painting.
