The Colour Authored by: Jean-François MESSIER
How does the work? The colour wheel was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. The color wheel allows you to create colour palettes that match and are consistent. You can create palettes based on several types of effects.
Monochromatic You select colours in the same segment, but nearer or farther from the centre. Using variations of the same colour can create a striking palette, but it’s difficult to use Example colour effectively without adding black, white, and shades of gray for contrast.
Analogous Selecting colours that are touching in the wheel creates a narrow, harmonious colour scheme. Similar to monochromatic colours, analogous colours provide a predominantly warm or cool Example feeling, depending on where they lie on the wheel.
Complementary Colours from the opposite ends of the wheel provide the most contrast. If you can resist the temptation to add more colours, limit yourself to just two to create a powerful (or even startling) Example look. But arrange them wisely so they don’t clash.
You can also opt for a 3-colour harmony Split Complementary that alternates two cold colours and one hot one, or the other way around. This variation of the complementary scheme uses two colours on either side of a directly complementary colour. Example These colours have high visual contrast but with less visual tension than purely complementary colours
Triadic Three colours equally spaced around the colour wheel create vivid visual interest. Some palettes are bold while others are more refined. You can modify this method by using a Example light tint or dark shade of one of the three colours instead of the pure hue.
Tetradic This scheme is Tetradic popular because it offers strong visual contrast while retaining harmony. It uses two pairs of complementary colours. It’s difficult to harmonize this scheme if all four hues are used in Example equal amounts. Pick a dominant colour for your design and use the others to support the main one.
Microsoft’s PowerPoint colour picker PowerPoint and Apple’s Keynote applications base their colour wheels on the one that Sir Isaac Newton discovered. The wheel uses three primary colours, red, yellow and blue, spaced evenly apart. Blending those colours creates the full colour wheel, as shown here.
