1. Complementary

They create vibrant color palettes with high contrast.

They can be jarring (discordante) if not appropriately managed.
Text and background in complementary colors are tough to read.
They are ideal for making something stand out and create eye-catching.

2. Split-Complementary

They have a vibrant contrast that is generally easy to use.

They work exceptionally well with artwork since it gives you enough colors to
work with.
Use the two base colors for most of the artwork and the accent color for – you
guessed it – accents.
Un hue cálido y dos hue fríos o viceversa, se sugiere que los dos hue base
tengan la misma temperatura.

3. Analogous

One dominant color, then a supporting color. The third color can be the first
two colors blended together or an accent color that pops.
They tend to be eye-soothing and have a sense of visual cohesion.
Make sure you have enough contrast.
Stick to the 60-30-10 rule to maintain a visually appealing balance.
Stick to warm or cool colors because your design will give a sense of cohesion
and harmony by using only one color temperature.
Aunque, no importa si uno de los hue cae en la otra temperatura.

4. Triadic

They are very versatile, they create a vibrant, bold color palette, offer strong
contrast.
They tend to be easier on the eye than a simple complementary pair, making
them a pretty safe bet if you want more than one hue to play with, but don’t
want to make quite as much of a splash as a complementary pair would.
Let one hue dominate and use the others for accents only, to avoid a child-like
effect that can ruin your design.
Un hue cálido y los otros dos hue fríos o viceversa.

5. Tetradic

They have four individual colors: a key color and three more colors.
They consist of two complementary color pairs.
They are some of the boldest, most vibrant color schemes, so you should use
them judiciously and with caution.
Let one color dominate, balance the use of warm colors and cool colors wisely,
and use neutrals (gray) so that the colors pop where they’re supposed to.

6. Square

Pick the key color to start with.

They are less common.
They have a lot of contrast built into, this can be great to evoke a sense of fun,
playfulness, and vibrancy.
Let one color dominate and balance the color temperature to make a square
color scheme work for your project without it looking juvenile.
Let an achromatic color (black, white, or gray) dominate and let your four hues
as accent colors. This can give a more modern, sleek (pulcro) look that still
catches the eye.
Dos hue cálidos y dos hue fríos.

7. Monochromatic

By using different shades, tones, and tints of the same hue.

They produce a complex and rich design.
Make sure to add enough contrast in the shades to create visual interest, and
don’t shine away from patterns and texture–they will add depth to your
design.
They are vibrant and eye-pleasing.
Un hue cálido o frio.
