Color wheel

1. Complementary colors– Two colors that are on the opposite side of the color wheel. This combination provides a sharp contrast and high impact color combination. 

2. Monochromatic-Three shades, tones, and tints of one base color. It provides a subtle and conservative color combination.

4. Triadic– This provides a sharp contrast color scheme, but less so than the complementary color combination making it more versatile. Three colors that are evenly spaced on the color wheel.

5. Tetradic– Tetradic color schemes are bold and work best if you let one color be dominant and use the others as accents. Four colors that are evenly spaced on the color wheel. 

6. Primary, secondary, and tertiary colors 

  1. Primary color– in the RGB color wheel are the colors that, added together, create pure white light. These colors are red, green, and blue. 
  1. Secondary colors -are colors that result from mixing two primary colors. There are three secondary colors. In the RGB color wheel, these are cyan, magenta, and yellow. When you mix light, red and green make yellow, green, and blue make cyan, and blue and red make magenta. 
  1. Tertiary colors-are colors made by combining a secondary color with a primary color. There are six tertiary colors. In the RGB color wheel these are orange, chartreuse green, spring green, azure, violet and rose. 

7. Warm colors -are the colors from red through to yellow. These colors are said to suggest warmth, like the sun. 

8 Shades, tints, and tones 

  1. Shade -A shade is created by adding black to a base hue, darkening the color. This creates a deeper, richer color. Shades can be quite dramatic and can be overpowering. 
  1. Tint -A tint is created by adding white to a base hue, lighting the color. This can make a color less intense and is useful when balancing more vivid color combinations. 
  1. Tones -A tone is created by combining black and white or grey with a base hue. Like tints, tones are subtler versions of the original color. Tones are less likely to look pastel and can reveal complexities not apparent in the base color.
