Frequently Asked Questions

What is color harmony?

Color harmony refers to the property that certain color combinations create a pleasing effect to the eye. These harmonious combinations are based on geometric relationships on the color wheel.

What are the different harmony types?

Complementary: Colors opposite each other on the color wheel (180°). Creates high contrast and vibrant looks.
Triadic: Three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel (120° apart). Offers strong visual contrast while retaining harmony.
Analogous: Colors next to each other on the color wheel (30° apart). Creates serene and comfortable designs.
Monochromatic: Different shades, tints, and tones of a single color. Provides a subtle and conservative color scheme.
Split Complementary: A base color and two colors adjacent to its complement. Less tension than complementary scheme.
