Colour harmonies
Colour harmonies create visually pleasing combinations by selecting hues based on their position on the colour wheel. Each harmony conveys a distinct aesthetic.Pairs a colour with its direct opposite on the colour wheel (180°) for a bold, high-contrast effect. Uses the base colour with the two colours adjacent to its complement (about 30° from the opposite hue). Offers strong contrast with more flexibility than a standard complementary pair. Includes three colours evenly spaced 120° apart on the colour wheel. For best results, let one colour dominate and use the others as accents. This scheme includes three colours with similar brightness and saturation, spaced 30° apart on the colour wheel. It creates smooth, harmonious transitions. Uses variations of a single hue with ±50% brightness adjustment for a subtle, cohesive look. Combines two complementary pairs spaced 60° on the colour wheel to create a dynamic, balanced palette.
