Complementary
Uses two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel (e.g., blue and orange). Creates high contrast and vibrant designs.
Triadic
Uses three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel (e.g., red, yellow, blue). Creates a balanced and colorful scheme.
Tetradic
Uses four colors arranged into two complementary pairs (e.g., blue‑orange and red‑green). Offers plenty of variety but requires careful balancing.
