analygous<br />
When you look at the color<br />
wheel, these are colors<br />
near each other, such as<br />
red and orange, green and<br />
blue, or yellow and green.<br />
These colors are naturally<br />
gentle and are a safe bet to<br />
match no matter when.<br />
complementary<br />
These colors are directly<br />
opposite of each other on<br />
the color wheel. They are<br />
often associated with high<br />
energy & contrast, because<br />
they almost vibrate when<br />
directly next to each other.<br />
monochromatic<br />
These are (as the name<br />
suggests with “chroma” in<br />
it) colors with the same hue<br />
but different amounts of<br />
saturation/intensity. These<br />
ALWAYS match well!<br />
