Color Harmony Types Explained
- Complementary: Colors opposite on the color wheel. Creates bold, high-contrast designs.
- Analogous: Colors next to each other on the wheel. Creates serene, harmonious designs.
- Triadic: Three colors equally spaced on the wheel. Creates vibrant, balanced designs.
- Split-Complementary: A base plus two colors adjacent to its complement. Offers contrast with less tension.
