≈ British Racing Green#15480A ≈ Dark Blue Green#0A483D

Triadic colors

A triadic scheme uses three hues spaced 120° apart. It is lively yet balanced, and works best when one color leads and the other two act as accents.

≈ Night Blue#1E0A48 ≈ Chocolate Brown#481E0A

Split-complementary colors

Split-complementary keeps the base color and uses the two colors on either side of its complement (150° and 210°). The contrast is strong but gentler than a direct complement.

≈ Deep Purple#3D0A48 ≈ Dark Maroon#480A15

Tetradic colors

A tetradic (rectangle) scheme combines two complementary pairs at 0°, 60°, 180° and 240°. It offers variety but needs one dominant color to stay balanced.

≈ Dark Blue Gray#0A3448 ≈ Dark Plum#480A34 ≈ Chocolate Brown#481E0A

Monochromatic variants

Monochromatic variants keep the same hue and saturation and only change lightness, which makes them dependable for UI scales and subtle layered designs.
