Color schemes (part 2)

In the last article we talked a little about some color schemes (if you didn’t read the first article click here) in this article we’ll finish the argument.

Color schemes (part 2)

Triadic

There are several triadic color schemes that have great contrast and the same tonal value.

To do it, we must select three colors and arrange them evenly across the color wheel in lines.

This technique, that is usable in a variety of design contexts, can produce a really harmonious color composition with these hues.

Here an example:

The Triadic scheme tecnique is perfect for easy hig contrast images.

Tetradic

Select one dominant color from a group of four hues that includes two sets of complimentary pairs, such as orange, yellow, blue, and violet. This enables complex, fascinating designs. Watch the ratio of warm to chilly colors, though.

Here’s an example:

Square and Rectangle

If you are good at using the color wheel, these two techniques will be simpler to understand. We must create a square according to the Square scheme and choose the colors for the vertices. The rectangle design is the same, but with a rectangle rather.
