The opposite color on the color wheel is purple, but instead we choose blue-violet and red-violet, which creates a lot of contrast and make for some highly cooperative colors. Split complimentary colors take a color and - instead of choosing the color directly across from it on the color wheel - it takes the two on either side of it. In the examples above, blue-violet and yellow-green create a lot of contrast. A triad has a nice variety of colors, but is also well balanced. TriadsĪ triad of colors is a set of colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. A good example would be blue-green, blue, and blue-violet or yellow-green, yellow, and yellow-orange. It is a good idea to choose a set of analogous colors that create a sense of variety. Analogous ColorsĪnalogous colors are colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.
Complementary colors to blue full#
Complementary color schemes create a high amount of contrast, but can create a lot of visual vibration when they are used at full saturation. Examples would be blue and orange, red and green, Yellow and purple, etc. Complimentary ColorsĬomplimentary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Next are the basic color combinations derived from the color wheel. Understanding the principles of color combinations will help you to choose combinations that work well together, set the right mood, and create the right amount of contrast within your design work. So, now that you know how colors are made, you can understand how the color combinations on the color wheel model work. These are red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green, yellow-green, red-orange, and yellow-orange. Tertiary colors are made when you take the secondary colors and mix them with the primary colors. Combining these colors in projects can make for a lot of contrast. If you evenly mix red and yellow, yellow and blue, and blue and red, you create the secondary colors, which are green, orange and violet. If we are talking about screen colors, such as for web devices and monitors, red green, and blue (RGB) are the basic colors which make up all colors found on screen devices.
Primary ColorsĬolors start out with the basis of all colors, called the Primary Colors. Let’s start with the absolute basics and move on to more advanced color combinations. Different color combinations fit into different categories, and can be broken down easily. There is actually a science behind which colors work well together. If you haven’t gone back to the basics of color theory lately, you might find some insights that you’ve overlooked.įiguring out which colors work well with others isn’t just a matter of chance. Color reflects the mood of a design and can invoke emotions, feelings, and even memories. One of the most important factors of any design is color. The impression that our work gives depends on a myriad of different factors. How you look and how you present yourself can determine how you are perceived.
