Black 2. White 3. Grey 4. Brown Prang System It is based on Brewster-Newton theory. It deals with primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. There are 12 basic hues in the prang color system, namely: three primaries, three secondaries and six intermediates. Color harmony means pleasing, effective, congruent and balanced combination of two or more colors or shades. It does not imply a random mixing of colors but a purposeful selection of a number of colors to get the desired effect. It is usually achieved by combining related or contrasting colors. 1. Monochromatic Color Scheme It is otherwise referred to as one-mode or one hue harmony. It combines different intensities or values - lightness and darkness or brightness and dullness - of one color only. Examples are blue, light blue, dark blue. 2. Analogous Color Scheme It means a combination of two or more neighboring colors in the color chart. An example is a yellow dress, with a yellow-green collar, and ruffles with green buttons and laces. Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye. 1. Complementary Color Scheme 2. Triadic Color Scheme 3. Split complementary harmony 4. Rectangle (Tetradic) Color Scheme 5. Square Color Scheme Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered to be complementary colors (example: red and green & Yellow and violet). The high contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at full saturation. Complementary color schemes are tricky to use in large doses, but work well when you want something to stand out. Complementary colors are really bad for text. A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. Triadic color schemes tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of your hues. In this combination, the three colors are placed in the chart as to mark out the three points of an equilateral triangle. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement. The split- complimentary color scheme is often a good choice for beginners, because it is difficult to mess up. It is made by combining a primary or an intermediate color in the chart with colors on each side of its complement. This is a scheme of colors placed in the chart as to describe the letter Y. The rectangle or tetradic color scheme uses four colors arranged into two complementary pairs. This rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities for variation. Tetradic color schemes works best if you let one color be dominant. You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cool colors in your design. The square color scheme is similar to the rectangle, but with all four colors spaced evenly around the color circle. Square color schemes works best if you let one color be dominant. You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cool colors in your design. This is a combination of a black, white or gray. This is a combination of a color (any one from color wheel) and black, white or gray.
