The facts about colour harmonies
Combinations of colors that exist in harmony are pleasing to the eye. Experts have specific ideas based on the principles of color theory and color psychology of color combinations that are aesthetically appealing and pleasant. The color wheel becomes the designer’s tool for creating the harmonies. Once you have a harmony in mind, we’ll help you choose from hundreds or maybe even thousands of colors that available.
Monochramatic
This is one colour scheme which can incorporate several values of the colour to keep it from looking monotonous. Various textures help to enhance this single colour.
Complementary
These schemes use colours, which are opposite each other on the colour wheel, such as red and green or blue and orange. The result is usually vibrant and lively. It works best if one colour dominates and the other serves as a contrast.
Split Complementary
This scheme is one, which uses any colour from the wheel in combination with the two colours that are directly opposite the one chosen. For example, you could use blue with red/orange and yellow/orange.
Analogous
This scheme uses three to five colours and includes one of three primary colours (red, yellow and blue). The related analogous colours are the colour segments showing on either side of the primary colour.
Triadic
This scheme uses three colours that are equidistant on the colour wheel, for eample red, yellow and blue. One colour can be used as the dominant colour and the other two as accents.
Achromatic
These are colours in the white through to black range. Achromatic schemes are restrained and sophisticated.

Neutrals are obtained by mixing pure colors with white, black or grey, or by mixing two complementary colors. In color theory, neutral colors are colors easily modified by adjacent more saturated colors and they appear to take on the hue complementary to the saturated color.
