Monochromatic:
A variety of tones out of the same hue create a single
or monochromatic scheme.
Analogous color scheme:
You can create it using colors that find a place next to
each other on the color wheel; for example, an ombre
color scheme.
Triadic:
You can create this triadic from hues that are spaced
out equally on the color wheel.
Complementary:
These are colors on opposite sides of the wheel. Upon
mixing two of these colors, the result will be a muddy
brown color.
Tetradic:
Variants of dual colors are distributed evenly across the
color wheel.
Split Complementary:
These are two colors on opposite ends of the color
wheel, with one of them split into two more adjacent
colors. For example yellow-green.
