Understanding Color Harmony
Learn about different color relationships and how they create visual harmony
Complementary
Complementary colors are directly opposite each other on the color wheel. This creates a high-contrast, vibrant look that's perfect for creating emphasis.
Analogous
Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel. They create harmonious, comfortable designs that flow naturally from one color to the next.
Triadic
Triadic colors are evenly spaced around the color wheel. They offer vibrant contrast while maintaining harmony, creating a balanced and colorful design.
Split-Complementary
Uses a base color and two colors adjacent to its complement. Offers strong visual contrast with less tension than complementary schemes.
Tetradic
A rectangle on the color wheel, using four colors. Rich and varied, but can be overwhelming if not balanced. Works well when one color dominates.
Monochromatic
Different shades, tones, and tints of a single color. Creates a cohesive, sophisticated look that's easy to manage and always harmonious.
How to Use Color Palettes
Best practices for applying color palettes in your designs
60-30-10 Rule
Use your dominant color for 60% of the design, secondary color for 30%, and accent color for 10%. This creates visual balance and hierarchy.
Consider Accessibility
Ensure text has sufficient contrast with its background. Use the contrast checker to verify your color combinations meet WCAG standards.
Test in Context
Colors can appear different depending on surrounding colors and lighting. Always test your palette in the actual context it will be used.
Create Hierarchy
Use color to guide users' attention. Brighter, more saturated colors draw attention, while neutral colors recede.
