About Color Schemes
Analogous - Colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. These create harmonious designs that are pleasing to the eye.
Monochromatic - Different tints, tones, and shades of a single color. This creates a cohesive look and is easy to work with.
Triadic - Three colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. This provides strong visual contrast while maintaining harmony.
Complementary - Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. These create a high-contrast, vibrant look.
Split-Complementary - A variation of complementary color scheme. It uses a base color and two adjacent colors to its complement. This creates less tension than complementary while still offering contrast.
Tetradic - A double complementary scheme, using four colors arranged in two complementary pairs. This is rich but can be overwhelming if not balanced properly.
