analogous colour schemes use colours that are next to each other on the wheel. (for example: light blue, dark green and light green)

a triadic colour scheme uses colours that are evenly spaced around the colour wheel (for example: purple, orange and green)

the split complementary colour scheme is a variation of complementary colours adding to the base colour, it uses the two colours adjacent to its complement

the square and rectangle colour schemes use four colours arranged into two complementary pairs, the difference being the square uses colours evenly spread around the wheel

Colour Theory

 

colours affect us in numerous ways, both mentally and phsyically. Colours must be used consciously in my work to obtain the effect i want to achieve.

Primary colours are red, blue and yellow: you can create secondary colours by mixing two primaries, making, purple, green and orange.

WARM colours are vivid and energenic (red, orange and yellow)

COLD colours give an impression of calm (blue/green)

colours that are opposite on the colour wheel are considered to be complementary colours (for example: red and green)
