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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose brand colors?

Start with one color that represents your brand personality, then generate complementary colors for contrast and hierarchy. This tool creates harmonious palettes from a single base color using color theory principles.

How many colors should a brand palette have?

Most effective brand palettes use 3-5 colors: a primary color, a secondary color, a neutral, and 1-2 accent colors. Too many colors create visual confusion; too few limit design flexibility.
