Frequently Asked Questions

What is an analogous color scheme?

Analogous colors sit next to each other on the color wheel (e.g. blue, blue-green, green). They create harmonious, calming combinations often seen in nature.

What is a triadic color scheme?

Triadic colors are evenly spaced around the color wheel (120° apart), e.g. red, yellow, blue. They're vibrant and balanced — popular in illustration and branding.

What is monochromatic?

A monochromatic palette uses shades, tints, and tones of a single hue. It's elegant and easy to work with — great for minimalist designs.
