Color Theory & Harmony Guide
Understanding color relationships and creating harmonious color schemes for your designs.
Color Harmony Basics
Color harmony creates visual balance through systematic color relationships:
- Complementary Colors: Two colors on the color wheel that are opposite each other, creating a strong visual contrast, often used to highlight key elements. (e.g., blue & orange)
- Analogous Colors: Colors adjacent on the color wheel, providing a harmonious and unified feel, suitable for creating harmonious color schemes. (e.g., blue, blue-green, green)
- Triadic Colors: Three colors forming an equilateral triangle on the color wheel, creating a balanced and vibrant visual effect.
Color Psychology
Colors evoke different emotions and associations:
- Blue: Trust, stability, professionalism
- Green: Growth, nature, harmony
- Red: Energy, passion, urgency
- Yellow: Optimism, creativity, warmth
- Purple: Luxury, royalty, creativity
Color Schemes in Design
Common color scheme applications:
- 60-30-10 Rule: Primary (60%), Secondary (30%), Accent (10%)
- Monochromatic: Different shades and tints of one color
- Neutral + Accent: Neutral base with bold accent colors
- Brand Colors: Consistent color palette across all materials
