Color Harmonies
Color harmonies create visually appealing combinations by selecting hues based on their positions on the color wheel. Each harmony conveys a unique aesthetic.
Complement
This harmony pairs a color with its direct opposite on the color wheel, 180 degrees apart, creating a striking, high-contrast effect.
Split-complementary
This scheme uses the base color alongside two colors adjacent to its complement, approximately 30 degrees from the opposite hue. It offers bold contrast with greater flexibility than a standard complementary pair.
Triadic
This harmony involves three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel, 120 degrees apart. For best results, let one color dominate while using the others as supporting accents.
Analogous
This combination includes three colors of similar luminance and saturation, positioned 30 degrees apart on the color wheel. It creates smooth, harmonious transitions.
Monochromatic
This scheme uses variations of the same hue, adjusted by ±50% in luminance, for a subtle and cohesive look.
Tetradic
This harmony combines two pairs of complementary colors, spaced 60 degrees apart on the color wheel, creating a dynamic and balanced palette.
