Color Theory Basics

Understanding color relationships and harmony

  • →Complementary colors create high contrast and vibrant designs
  • →Analogous colors (next to each other on color wheel) create harmony
  • →Monochromatic schemes use variations of a single color
  • →Warm colors (red, orange, yellow) feel energetic and bold
  • →Cool colors (blue, green, purple) feel calm and professional
