For example, yellow, green-yellow, and green are categorized as analogous colors. The word ‘analogous’ is defined as two things with a similar function or feature that are comparable to one another. In this case, the two colors green and yellow are relatable to one another because they are neighbors on the color wheel. If you mix these two colors, you create a new color, yellow–green, that has attributes of both. Thus, the three colors are analogous because of their close relationship to one another. Interior designers often use analogous colors to decorate a room because it gives it a sense of harmony. Analogous colors are pleasing to the human eye and are found abundantly in nature. If you need a lot of energy in your design, it may be best to go with contrasting colors rather than analogous colors. You would use analogous colors if you are trying to communicate a message of tranquility. Take a look at any advertising for a spa or natural care products, and you will find analogous color schemes to reflect the sense of peace and serenity associated with them. Split complementary Colors This color scheme is similar to the complementary color scheme but with a slight deviation. A base color is chosen, and then the two colors opposite on the color wheel are used as its complement. Using a split complementary color scheme as opposed to a complementary colour scheme is less risky as the result of the three colors together is less harsh and not as loud as a complementary color scheme. Triadic Color A triadic color scheme is comprised of three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel. The two most basic triadic palettes are the primary colors red, blue, and yellow and the secondary hues orange, purple, and green. .
