Color Schemes

1. One-color harmony (monochromatic color) –

the easiest color scheme to follow is one that uses the
same color in different values and intensity. Example,
dark blue suit with very dark blue accessories and
a light blue blouse.
 2. Adjacent color harmony – or
analogous color harmony. Since they are near
each
other on the color wheel, neighbor color
harmony. Example, yellow-orange, orange,
and yellow green are next to each other on
the color wheel; therefore, a pleasing adjacent
color harmony may be made from them.
3. Complementary Color Harmony – these are colors
that are opposite in the color wheel. Using these colors may be
very pleasing.
a. Complementary colors – directly opposite in the color
wheel.
Example, red and green, blue and orange, yellow and
violet.
b. Split complementary colors – a variation of
the complementary color scheme. In
 addition to the base color, it uses the two
colors adjacent to its complement.

c.Triad - A triadic color scheme uses colors

that are evenly spaced around the color
wheel. Triadic color harmonies tend to be
quite vibrant, even if you use pale or
unsaturated versions of your hues.
