Tones
A tone is produced either by mixing a color with grey, or by both tinting and shading.
Color Harmonies
Schemes of colors that work well together
Harmonies are color combinations on the color wheel created choosing colors at specific angles calculated from the original hue.
Complementary
180° - Complementary color scheme is made using the opposite color in the color wheel (180 degrees difference). It creates the strongest contrast and each color stands out. The opposite color of 16, 60, 105 is 105, 61, 16.
Triad
120° - Triad color scheme is made dividing the color wheel in three. Each color is 120 degrees apart from the other. Usually one color is the dominant and the other two colors are used as accents. If 16, 60, 105 is the dominant color, its accents would be 105, 16, 61 and 61, 105, 16.
Square
90° - Square color scheme is made dividing the color wheel in four parts. Each color is 90° degrees apart from the other. This scheme is very balanced because it spans equally along the color wheel creating two warm colors (105, 16, 105, 105, 61, 16) and two cool colors (16, 60, 105, 16, 105, 16).
Adjacent / Analogous / Analogic
± 30° - Adjacent color scheme is made picking colors near each other in the color wheel. The other colors are 30 degrees apart from the main color. This scheme is very harmonious and it is useful for having multiple colors of similar hue. With 16, 60, 105 we can pick 16, 105, 105 at 30° clockwise and 16, 16, 105 at 30° counterclockwise.
Split Complementary
180° ± 30° - Split complementary color scheme is like complementary scheme but instead of picking the exact opposite it uses two colors at ± 30° from the complementary. This scheme has a strong visual contrast but lower tension than the complementary scheme.
Rectangle / Tetradic
60° - Rectangle color scheme is made up of two complementary pairs. The first pair is like the complementary scheme, the second one is tilted 60 degrees.
- 60° - The color scheme variant is made by tilting the second complementary scheme in the opposite direction.
Pentagram
72° - Pentagram color scheme is full of color, it spans over the color wheel and every color is 72 degrees apart from each other. It is very useful when you need a lot of colors that go well together.
