About Color Harmonies

Color harmonies are combinations of colors based on their geometric relationships on the color wheel. They're the foundation of pleasing palettes in design, branding, interiors, and art.

  • Complementary: two colors opposite each other (180°). Maximum contrast and vibrance; great for accents and calls to action.
  • Analogous: neighboring colors (±30°). Serene and comfortable; common in nature-inspired designs.
  • Triadic: three colors evenly spaced (120° apart). Vibrant yet balanced; use one dominant color and two accents.
  • Split-Complementary: the base plus the two colors adjacent to its complement (±150°). Strong contrast with less tension than complementary.
  • Tetradic (Rectangle): two complementary pairs (0°, 60°, 180°, 240°). Rich palettes; best with one dominant color.
  • Square: four colors evenly spaced (90° apart). Bold and playful when balanced carefully.
  • Monochromatic: one hue in varying lightness and saturation. Clean, cohesive, and easy to get right.
