Frequently asked questions

What is a color harmony?

A harmony is a set of colors chosen by their position on the color wheel — opposite (complementary), neighbouring (analogous) or evenly spaced (triadic, tetradic) — which tends to look balanced together.

Which harmony should I use for a website?

Analogous and monochromatic schemes feel calm and cohesive. Complementary and split-complementary schemes add energy; use the second color sparingly for buttons and highlights.
