Influence - Colour wheel

Complementary colours are directly opposite sides of the colour wheel, They are hard to use in large bulk but it is useful for small sections to stand out among the others

Analogous colours are next to each other on the colour wheel, They are found in nature. You pick one dominant colour and the other 2 are to accent the main colour.
Triadic colour colours are where the colours are evenly spaced around the colour wheel, They should produce a vibrant scheme. They should be used much the same as before to let one dominate and the others accent the main colour.
Split-complementary is where you take the complementary colours but use the 2 colours either side of one of the colours to give a strong visual contrast.

Tetrad colour scheme can be used in a square or a rectangle. They both use sets of complimentary pairs. And work well when one colour dominates. A lot like the rest of the different uses.


The site I use to get the exact colours to use is linked below.This is a colour wheel that can select colours to help me chose colours.
