Color palettes
There are several types of color combinations which can be used to build color palettes.
Monochromatic
Monochromatic palettes are created by establishing variations on a shade of a single color.
Complementary
Complementary color palettes are created by selecting two colors directly opposite of each other on the color wheel.
Analogous
Analogous color palettes are created by selecting three colors which are side by side on the color wheel.
Triadic
Triadic color palettes are created by selecting three evenly-spaced colors from around the color wheel.
