A color (scheme) harmony is a pleasing combination of colors based on their respective positions on the color wheel.
The surest and easiest way to achieve success when using color is to follow one of the standard color harmonies.
7 color harmonies bring colors together in combinations that are very pleasing to the eye. 3

7. ANALOGOUS 7

8. ANALOGOUS (Related)
Example: violet, red-violet, red
Created by using hues that are next to each other on the color wheel.
Usually three to five hues are used.
Since they are related, they blend well together.
An analogous color scheme will look best if you choose one color as the dominant color and use smaller amounts of the others to add interest and variety. 8

10. COMPLEMENTARY 10

11. COMPLEMENTARY (Contrasting)
Example: Red and Green
Made by selecting two colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel.
Brightest and most intense form of each color when these are used together.
A complementary scheme can make a room look bright and dramatic. 11

12. Examples of Complementary Schemes12

13. Examples of Split-Complementary Schemes13

14. SPLIT-COMPLEMENTARY
Example: Red, blue-green, yellow-green
Combining a color with the two colors found on either side of the color’s complement.
Blue’s complement is Orange, so you would use the two colors on each side: yellow- orange, and red-orange.
With this color selection, the main color is the dominant one. The two colors on each side of the complement are accent colors. 14

15. TRIADIC

16. TRIADIC (Contrasting)
Examples:
Red, Yellow, Blue
Green, Orange, Violet
Yellow-Orange, Red-Violet, Blue-Green
Uses any three colors that are equally distant from each other on the color wheel.
Care and skill are needed to achieve pleasing Triadic harmonies.
Changing values and intensities can lessen the sharp contrasts.

17. Examples of Triadic Color Schemes

18. NEUTRAL Using only colors not found on the color wheel
Black, grey, and white
Brown, tan, and beige can also be used.

19. ACCENTED-NEUTRAL
Small amounts of another color(s) added to a neutral color scheme to give the room more interest.
Example: black, white, red 19

20. Double Complementary 2 combinations of complimentary colors.
Purple, yellow, blue, orange
The tetradic (double complementary) scheme is the richest of all the schemes because it uses four colors arranged into two complementary color pairs. This scheme is hard to harmonize; if all four colors are used in equal amounts, the scheme may look unbalanced, so you should choose a color to be dominant or subdue the colors.
