144-615: A color scheme is a combination of 2 or more colors used in aesthetic or practical design. Aesthetic color schemes are used to create style and appeal. Colors that create a harmonious feeling when viewed together are often used together in aesthetic color schemes. Practical color schemes are used to inhibit or facilitate color tasks , such as camouflage color schemes or high visibility color schemes. Qualitative and quantitative color schemes are used to encode unordered categorical data and ordered data, respectively. Color schemes are often described in terms of logical combinations of colors on
216-494: A color wheel or within a color space . Harmonious color schemes are designed to accomplish an aesthetic color task and enhance color harmony . They do not represent any underlying variable. The color scheme of a logo is typically purely aesthetic. A color scheme in marketing is referred to as a trade dress and can sometimes be protected by trademark or trade dress laws, as is the pink color of Owens Corning fiberglass . Any color that lacks strong chromatic content
288-402: A primary or secondary color, and two on either side complementing, which tend to be tertiary . This usually translates to a three-color combination consisting of a base color and two colors that are 30 degrees and 330 degrees apart from the base color.

The split-complementary color scheme has the same sharp visual contrast as the complementary color scheme but has less pressure. Analogous color schemes (also called dominance harmony) are groups of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, with one being the dominant color, which tends to be

576-493: A color each from group A and group B, each consisting of 5 colors. A qualitative color scheme can be designed similarly to a harmonious color scheme. However, the goal of a qualitative color scheme is to solve a comparative color task rather than an aesthetic color task , so enhancing color difference between the colors in the color scheme is generally more important than color harmony . Quantitative color schemes (sometimes color maps ) represent quantitative data , where
648-470: A complementary pair to a rectangular tetradic color scheme. An example of this color scheme is red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and magenta—which also happens to be the roster of the two sets of modern primary colors in both pigment and light.

936-409: A higher degree of contrast while also retaining the color harmony. This scheme is trendy among artists because it provides sharp visual contrast while maintaining balance, and color richness. The triadic scheme is not as contrasting as the complementary scheme, but it is easier to accomplish balance and harmony with these colors. The tetradic (also called double complementary) color scheme is considered
1008-574: A mixed, integrated development, named Sengkang Grand Residences/Mall.

1080-683: A palette of several dozen color schemes designed to be reproducible on multiple devices and usable by the color blind, which was collected into an interactive tool known as ColorBrewer in 2002. This palette quickly gained wide acceptance due to its reliable usability by non-experts, and has become a standard built into GIS and mapping software and other visualization tools. Other pre-made scientific color schemes that are distributed directly to users, but also frequently built into common visualisation toolboxes include: Bivariate or trivariate schemes use two or three orthogonal sequential schemes to represent separate (but usually related) variables, with

1296-469: A single hue , i.e. the base hue modified by the addition of black, gray and white. As a result, the energy is more subtle and peaceful due to a lack of contrast of hue. A complementary color scheme comprises two colors that combine to form gray, i.e. they are on opposite sides of the color wheel . Fully saturated complementary colors maximize color contrast . A split-complementary (also called compound harmony) color scheme comprises three colors, namely
1368-416: A white background or prison uniforms . Enhancing contrast against a background motivates some practical color schemes, such as high visibility color schemes, while inhibiting contrast against a background motivates others, as in camouflage . Qualitative color schemes represent categorical variables , where the possible values of the variable are discrete and unordered. An example of a categorical variable

Anchorvale Village, a mixed residential/commercial development; originally slated to open by 2022, will open with
1512-492: Is U.S. states , which has 50 unordered values. A qualitative color scheme is generally also called a color code . Generally, the number of colors in a qualitative color scheme is equal to the number of possible values for the categorical variable, where each value is encoded to one color. However, the number of total colors can be decreased by encoding each value with multiple colors, as in the 25-pair color code , which encodes 25 values using only 10 colors, by assigning each value

Near neutrals can be of any hue or lightness. For example, the "Achromatic" use of a white background with black text is an example of a basic and commonly default color scheme in web design . Neutrals are obtained by mixing pure colors with white, black or gray, or by mixing two complementary colors. In color theory, neutral colors are colors easily modified by adjacent more saturated colors and they appear to take on

They are common in heat maps , choropleths and other forms of visualization. These color schemes can be categorized into different classes, depending on
3960-400: The richest because it uses four colors arranged into two complementary color pairs. This scheme is hard to harmonize and requires a color to dominate or subdue the colors; if all four colors are used in equal amounts, the color scheme may look unbalanced. The hexadic (also called triple complementary, or double triadic) color scheme is the color scheme with the most distinct colors possible. It
4032-498: The same consistency as the analogous color scheme but has more contrast in comparison. One example of a near-analogous color scheme would be red, yellow, and magenta. An accented analogous color scheme adds the complementary color of an analogous color scheme as the accent color, used to create a dominant color grouping of three similar colors accented with the direct complement (or the near complement) of one of them.
