You are all familiar with the color wheel and all the ways to use color, but a review is always helpful.
We will be looking at some color combinations I painted years ago and since I dug them out we will use them to help with color choices.
Monochromatic is always safe and easy. One color many values (light and dark)
Triadic: If you draw a triangle on the color wheel any three colors that the points touch are a triadic color scheme. Here you see the primaries for paint red, yellow and blue.
Complimentary colors are any two directly across from each other.
Split compliment are the compliment and the ones on each side of it's compliment.
Analogous are side by side colors.
Neutrals in earth tones
Neutrals in black, white and grey
Panchromatic: All the colors you want. This can be risky and look like too much chaos, but possible.
