1. The Color Wheel

6. Complimentary Colors Because they’re so opposite, they often work best when one is the main color and the other is an accent

8. Triads A set of 3 colors equidistant from each other always creates a triad of pleasing colors Primary triad is made up of red, yellow and blue (popular with children's products)

10. Split Complement Triads Choose a color from one side of the wheel, find its compliment directly across the wheel, but use the colors on each side of the complement

12. Analogous Colors Composed of those colors that are next to each other on the wheel

14. Shades and Tints Thus far we’ve been dealing with pure color (hue) The color wheel can be greatly expanded by adding black and white to various hues –Add black to a hue to create a shade –Add white to a hue to create a tint

15. Monochromatic Colors Composed of one hue with any number of its corresponding tints or shades. Contrast

16. Color Temperature Warm colors have some red or yellow in them –Come to the front Cool colors have some blue in them –Recede to the background
