types of colours scheme
Types of color schemes. Monochromatic color scheme. This scheme is composed of different tints, shades of tones of the same color. These color schemes are relatively easy to use and comprehend. They can be very effective but some designers may look for greater diversity of hues.
To use a triadic harmony successfully, the colors should be carefully balanced - let one color dominate and use the two others for accent. The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement. This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.
