You will understand that I limited myself to simple colors... I refrained from choosing 'nice' colors...<br />

<strong>Color</strong> <strong>Combinations</strong><br />
<strong>Color</strong> combinations may pass unnoticed when pleasing, yet offend dramatically when compositions seem<br />
to clash. One outcome we seek in the final form or composition, is a successful use of color.<br />
We determine whether or not we are successful by critically assessing the visual balance and harmony of<br />
the final composition—balance and harmony are achieved by the visual contrast that exists between color<br />
combinations. Planning a successful color combination begins with the investigation, and understanding,<br />
of color relationships.<br />
Using a color wheel and a template, the relationships between colors are easy to identify.<br />
<strong>Monochromatic</strong> Relationship <strong>Color</strong>s that are<br />
shade or tint variations of the same hue.<br />
<strong>Complementary</strong> Relationship Those colors<br />
across from each other on a color wheel.<br />
Split-<strong>Complementary</strong> Relationship One hue<br />
plus two others equally spaced from its<br />
complement.<br />
Double-<strong>Complementary</strong> Relationship Two<br />
complementary color sets; the distance<br />
between selected complementary pairs will<br />
effect the overall contrast of the final<br />
composition.
