Analogous colors

≈ Light Olive Green#AAB84F ≈ Dark Pastel Green#4FB85D

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.

≈ French Blue#4F75B8 ≈ Light Burgundy#B84F75

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.

≈ Iris#5D4FB8 ≈ Warm Purple#B84FAA

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.

≈ Medium Aquamarine#4FB892 ≈ Amethyst#924FB8 ≈ Light Burgundy#B84F75

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.
