The six harmonies
Complementary
Opposite on the wheel (180°): maximum contrast for accents.
Analogous
Neighbors 30° apart: calm and natural.
Triadic
Three hues 120° apart: vibrant yet balanced.
Split-complementary
The base plus the two neighbors of its complement: contrast with less tension.
Tetradic
Four hues 90° apart: rich, best with one dominant color.
Monochromatic
One hue in several lightness levels: elegant and consistent.
