Color Combinations

The combination of colors entails not only a harmonious perception of the color scheme for the eyes, featuring various shades, but also encompasses specific principles for creating color combinations and palettes used in interior design, clothing, and various other design aspects.

Our color wheel offers an excellent framework for selecting color palettes, making comparisons, and achieving desired combinations of shades, including monochromatic, complementary (both cold and warm), analogous, triadic, and tetradic colors. Let's explore these foundational schemes.

Complementary combination

Complementary colors, positioned on opposite sides of the color wheel, create a striking, vibrant effect due to their contrasting nature. This combination often appears lively and energetic, especially when utilizing maximum tone saturation.

Monochromatic combination

Monochromatic colors are variations of the same hue, resulting in a less saturated palette within a specific segment of the color wheel. These combinations are often characterized by subtle shifts in chromatic intensity, for instance, from blue to pale blue.

Analogous combination

Analogous colors, neighboring each other on the color wheel, evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony. These shades complement one another, offering a smooth transition from one tone to the next. Examples include yellow-orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, and blue-green.

Triadic combination

This combination involves three colors equally spaced from each other on the color wheel. The resulting high contrast maintains harmony, imparting vivacity even with the use of pale or unsaturated colors.

Tetradic combination

This combination uses four equidistant colors, providing a dynamic, playful, and bright image. The colors, while not similar in tone, work in harmony, creating a compelling visual mosaic - such as purple, red-orange, yellow, and blue-green.

Color palettes

Color Palettes serve as a pre-made solution for designers, offering sets of four harmoniously matching colors. Convenient for both web design and interior or clothing concepts, these selected blocks provide a foundation for creative ideas.

The primary color determination tool generates a palette of the five main colors within a photo or image, while computing average values of the most prevalent hues. This user-friendly tool conducts all actions seamlessly, without page reloading. Additionally, users can upload their own image and save the resulting palette.

The Eyedropper Tool allows users to identify a pixel’s color from a photo or image, offering insights into the color name and HEX/RGB codes.
