NOTE
COLOUR SCHEME

A color scheme is the choice of colors used in various artistic and design contexts.

TYPES OF COLOUR SCHEME

  1. Monochromatic Color Scheme

It focuses on a single color, often using variations of that hue by incorporating tints, tones, and shades.

This color scheme is extremely versatile and easy on the eye.

Monochromatic color schemes are also increasing in popularity due to the rise of minimalism in all aspects of design, from interior design to packaging design to website design. This color scheme also provides ample room for content or important information on websites or advertisements.

 

  1. Complementary Color Scheme

Complementary colors exist on opposite sides of the color wheel; one color is usually a primary color and the other a secondary color. The main complementary colors are typically blue and orange, red and green, and yellow and purple.

Colors opposite each other on the color wheel typically provide high contrast when paired together.

When done successfully, complementary palettes can make a huge impact on a design. The pairing of a warm and cool hue provides a rich and eye-catching contrast.

 

  1. Analogous Color Scheme

Analogous colors consist of a group of three colors that border each other within the color wheel. This color scheme starts off with a base hue and is extended with two neighboring hues. The word “analogous” means closely related, so the combination of these hues has a harmonious appeal similar to that of monochromatic color schemes.

If you need color inspiration, take a look around you. Analogous palettes are routinely found in nature, from luscious sunsets to alluring bird feathers to captivating oceans, giving you that sense of calm and peacefulness.

 

  1. Triadic Color Scheme

A triad consists of three colors that are placed equidistant from each other on the color wheel, forming a triangle as seen below. Triadic color schemes can include three primary, secondary, or tertiary colors. Common triadic palettes consist of blue, red, and yellow or violet, green, and orange.

Most triadic palettes are vibrant and can be difficult to balance.

Bring in hints of white, grey, or black to tone down the vibrancy and expand on the palette.

 

  1. Neutral Color Scheme

Neutral color palettes have recently gained momentum across all design disciplines. The popular color scheme typically consists of achromatic hues (white, grey, and black) along with near neutrals (beige, tan, brown, and other dark hues).
