Types of Color Harmony

Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. They create high contrast and vibrant designs.

Analogous Colors

Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They create serene and comfortable designs.

Triadic Colors

Three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel. They offer high contrast while retaining harmony.
