A designer
tool for creating color combinations that work together well known as Color
Scheme. A color scheme is the choice of colors used in design. Creating a
colour scheme is essential for good design.
There are
several color schemes. Monochromatic
colors, analogous schemes (harmonies), clash and Neutral Color Scheme
Difference
between a color palette and a color scheme
A color
palette contains all of the colors that are used in a project, while a scheme
is a general plan for which colors to use.
an oil
painting has a primary color scheme because it uses red, blue and yellow most.
You can see more than just the three colors, the additional colors are added to
the color scheme to make the color palette.
Basic
color schemes
With colors you can set a mood,
attract attention, or make a statement. You can use color to energize, or to
cool down. By selecting the right color scheme, you can create an ambiance of
elegance, warmth or tranquility, or you can convey an image of playful youthfulness.
Color can be your most powerful design element if you learn to use it
effectively.
The color
wheel or color circle is the basic tool for combining colors. The first
circular color diagram was designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666.

Monochromatic colour
scheme is the colour scheme which uses different shades of the same colour. In this scheme uses variations in lightness
and saturation of a single color. This scheme gives feeling of simplicity,
elegance, and cleanliness
For example, using dark blue, sky blue, and
blue at the same time. Monochromatic
color schemes are derived from a single base hue, and extended using its
shades.
All Monochromatic
colors go well together, making this scheme easy to manage, and producing a soothing
and calming effect.
The number one
advantage of using monochromatic colors is that it always looks visually
appealing and balanced.
Analogus
Color Scheme
There are many
analogous color schemes with three or four colors. Any color scheme
where all of the colors are in the same space on a color wheel is analogous.
These color schemes unify a room, outfit, or art piece because they are made of
the same pigments.
A simple way to make an analogous color scheme is to start with a primary color and a secondary color, and then choose two colors between them. For example:
A simple way to make an analogous color scheme is to start with a primary color and a secondary color, and then choose two colors between them. For example:
- Blue, Blue-green,
Green-blue, Green.
- Red, Red-Orange,
Orange-red, Orange.
- Yellow, Yellow-Green,
Green-Yellow, Green.
Advantages -
One of the advantages this color scheme has over the monochromatic is that not
only is easy to create, but it provides a richer, more colorful solution.
Clash Color Scheme
This color scheme has
an energetic, raw, and brash quality. It
is used primarily in advertisement and graphic design, but modern artists use
it to create uninhibited energy to their compositions. It is easy to create
this scheme. Combine a color with one
hue on either side of its complementary.
Tetradic color scheme ( Four color two
sets)
There are four colors
in a tetradic color scheme. The beginning of the word, tetra-, is a Greek
prefix meaning four. A tetradic
color scheme is also called a double-complementary color scheme. The four
colors are actually two sets of complementary colors. This means that you can
find a tetradic color scheme by drawing a square or rectangle inside of the
color wheel and choosing the colors on the corners.
Neutral
Color Scheme
This beautiful sets
of color schemes are the natural results of neutralizing colors by mixing them
with their respective complementary.
Hence, to "tone down" a color, you must mix it with its
complementary. To obtain a wider palette
of these colors, get tints (color + white) or shades (color + black.) Many artists used this scheme to paint
preliminary studies of paintings or to convey a soft, earthly atmosphere to their compositions.

Color
scheme for Website Design
As a designer, color management should be an
integral part of your workflow. A website’s color scheme helps shape its
identity and therefore should not be carelessly thrown together. Selecting a
color scheme for a given website design project is not always easy. Sometimes
the product or service will help to determine the base or main color, but where
to go from there is usually a matter for the designer's imagination and
inspiration. A designer tool for creating color combinations that
work together well. Formerly known asColor Scheme Designer.
There are simply a ton of free color tools available
on the web. However, a cursory search reveals that most are extremely basic and
simply mimic everything else out there.
