How do I use a color wheel in design?

Using a color wheel helps you understand color relationships. You can create harmonious color schemes by choosing complementary, analogous, or triadic colors.

What are complementary colors?

Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. They create high contrast and can make designs pop.

Can you give me an example of an analogous color scheme?

Sure! An analogous color scheme uses colors that are next to each other on the wheel, like blue, blue-green, and green.

How can I apply these color schemes in my design projects?

You can apply these schemes by selecting a base color and then using the chosen colors for backgrounds, accents, and text to create a cohesive look.
