About Color Harmonies

Color Theory Guide

  • Complementary: Two colors opposite on the color wheel. High contrast, vibrant look.
  • Analogous: Three colors next to each other. Harmonious, serene feel.
  • Triadic: Three colors evenly spaced. Balanced, vibrant palette.
  • Split Complementary: Base color + two adjacent to its complement. Less tension than complementary.
  • Tetradic: Four colors forming a rectangle. Rich, diverse palette.
  • Monochromatic: Various shades and tints of one color. Cohesive, elegant look.
