    This color scheme uses opposite hues on the color wheel. These colors are across from each other on the wheel and have great contrast.

    SPLIT-COMPLEMENTARY COLOR SCHEME


    This color scheme uses three colors, one color with the two colors on each side of its complement.

    This color scheme combines three colors equidistant on the color wheel and has a great deal of contrast.

    All colors are beautiful, depending on personal taste.


    If not used wisely or combined well, color can cause apparel to look too gaudy or very drab. Harmony results when hues, values and intensities are combined in a pleasing way.
