Frequently Asked Questions
What is an analogous color scheme?
Analogous colors are adjacent on the color wheel (e.g., blue, blue-green, green). They create harmonious, cohesive designs but need accent colors for contrast.
When should I use complementary colors?
Complementary colors are opposite on the color wheel (e.g., blue and orange). They create high contrast and visual interest, great for buttons, CTAs, and highlighting important elements.
What is a monochromatic palette?
Monochromatic palettes use different shades, tints, and tones of a single color. They're elegant and easy to implement but may lack visual interest without careful design.
