Base color
All 6 harmony schemes below are derived from this color using color-theory math (HSL hue rotation).
Monochromatic — lighter and darker shades
Analogous — neighbors on the color wheel
Complementary — opposite color
Triadic — 3 evenly-spaced
Tetradic — 4 evenly-spaced (square)
Split-complementary — base + 2 adjacent to opposite
Color harmony 101: Complementary = high contrast (opposite hues). Analogous = harmonious / calming (adjacent hues). Triadic = vibrant + balanced (3-way split). Monochromatic = sophisticated single-hue. Use these in CSS, design tools, or as a starting point for your brand palette.
