Analogous Color Harmonies

Analogous color schemes use colors

that are next to each other on the color

wheel.

They usually match well and create

serene and comfortable designs.

Analogous color schemes are often

found in nature and are harmonious and

pleasing to the eye.

Choose one color to dominate, a second

to support. The third color is used (along

with black, white or gray) as an accent.

Rule #2: Neighbors

make good company

Complementary Color HarmoniesComplementary Colors are opposite each other on

the color wheel. Red and green, yellow and violet,

orange and blue are the primary and secondary

color complements.

The high contrast of complementary colors creates

a vibrant look especially when used at full

saturation. This color scheme must be managed

well so it is not jarring.

Complementary colors are tricky to use in large

doses, but work well when you want something to

stand out.

Use one color as the dominant color, the other as

the accent color.

Rule # 3:

Opposites attract

Split Complementary

The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of

the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base

color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement.

This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as

the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.

The split-complimentary color scheme is often a good

choice for beginners, because it is difficult to mess up.

yellow orange; violet, green and orange; blue violet,

Double Complementary or

Tetradic Color Harmonies

The double complementary or tetradic color

scheme uses four colors arranged into two

complementary pairs.

This rich color scheme offers plenty of

possibilities for variation.

The tetradic color scheme works best if you

let one color be dominant.

You should also be conscious about the

balance of warm and cool colors in your

design.
