Study Notes
Color Wheel & Color Schemes
-
The color wheel is key to understanding the basics of color theory.
-
Color schemes fall into two broad categories: related and contrasting.
- Related harmonies include monochromatic and analogous.
- Contrasting harmonies unite hues that are separated on the color wheel, with complementary being the most popular.
Monochromatic
- Based on one hue with variations in value and saturation.
- Example: Pale green with pure green and dark green.
- Can lead to monotony if not careful, but useful as a background for other colors.
Complementary
- Based on directly opposite hues on the color wheel.
- Examples: Red and green, purple and yellow, blue and orange.
- Offer high contrast.
- Carefully control value and intensity to ensure harmony.
Analogous
- Combine up to three colors placed next to each other on the color wheel.
- Unified by a shared color, for example red, red-orange, and orange.
- Offer more variety than monochromatic schemes.
Split-Complementary
- One color combined with two colors adjacent to its complementary.
- Example: Red with blue and green, as blue and green are adjacent to red's complementary (blue-green).
Double Complementary
- Uses two closely related hues and their complements.
- Example: Red & red-orange, and yellow & violet.
Triadic
- Utilizes three colors that are equally spaced on the color wheel.
Tetradic
- Any four hues that are equidistant from each other on the color wheel.
Neutral with 1 Hue
- Earthy/neutral colors like browns, grays, and taupes accented with one color from the color wheel.
Neutral
- Earthy/neutral colors like browns, grays, and taupes.
Achromatic
- Black, white, and gray.
Chromatic
- All colors other than black, white, and gray.
