What is a combination of colors called?
Color schemes are often described in terms of logical combinations of colors on a color wheel. Different types of schemes, like monochromatic or complementary, are used.
What is an example of a complementary color scheme?
This particular color scheme draws from two colors on the opposite side of the color wheel. When you do this, the result is a high-contrast color combo that's bright and that pops. Examples of complementary color combinations are: Red and green; yellow and purple; orange and blue; green and magenta.
What is a compound color scheme?
Compound schemes (aka Split Complementary) are almost the same as complementary schemes. Instead of using colors that are opposites, it uses colors on both sides of the opposite hue.
