Analogous color scheme

 Analogous color scheme selects a group of three


colors that are adjacent in the color wheel.
 An analogous color scheme involves three colors that
are positioned next to each other on the color
wheel. While neutrals can be added in as well, two of
the shades involved will be a primary color (red, blue,
and yellow, for those who need a refresher) and the
third will be a mix of the two.

Complementary color scheme
These are colors that are direct opposite to each
other in the color wheel. Usually a combination of a
primary and secondary color.
A complementary color scheme is composed by
using two colors opposite each other on the color
wheel. This is the particularly contrasting of all color
schemes which attracts the most attention and one of
the primary challenges when working with it is to
fulfil a harmonious balance.

Split- Complementary color scheme
Split-complementary color scheme uses the colors on
both sides of the opposite color
A split-complementary color scheme takes up a base
color and two secondary colors. It is similar to the
complementary color scheme, but one of the
complements is split. The split complementary color
scheme is versatile, pleasant, and easy to achieve.
