to inspire and guide your design process. Browse through numerous color
palettes displayed in a grid format. Each palette consists of multiple colors
that work well together. The palettes cover a wide range of color schemes,
from pastels to vibrant hues, catering to different design needs and
preferences.

You can type a color, theme, or keyword in the search

bar to find palettes that match specific criteria.

Here are some examples of

color palettes that are

 COLORS
COLORS WHEEL

Using the Color Wheel, you can explore different color combinations to create
harmonious and visually appealing designs. Whether you choose complementary,
analogous, or triadic color schemes, the tool helps you find the perfect colors for
your project.

Complementary Colors

Two colors that are on opposite sides of the color

wheel. This combination provides a high contrast
and high impact color combination – together, these
colors will appear brighter and more prominent.

241
 COLORS

Monochromatic

This is a versatile color combination that is easy to apply to design projects for a harmonious look

242
 COLORS
COLORS WHEEL

Analogous

Three colors that are side by side on the color wheel

form an analogous color scheme. This type of color
combination is versatile, yet it can be overwhelming if
not balanced properly. To effectively use an analogous
color scheme, choose one dominant color and use the
others as accents. Additionally, consider whether you
are working with warm colors, like reds, oranges, and
yellows, which can evoke energy and warmth, or cool
colors, such as blues, greens, and purples, known for
their calming and soothing properties.

243
 COLORS
COLORS WHEEL

Triadic

A triadic color scheme consists of three colors that

are evenly spaced on the color wheel, providing a
vibrant contrast yet more balanced than
complementary schemes. This combination allows
for the creation of striking and harmonious
palettes, ideal for projects seeking visual impact
without being overwhelming. When applying this
scheme, it is recommended to select one dominant
color and use the other two as accents, ensuring
coherence and aesthetic appeal in the design.

244
 COLORS
COLORS WHEEL

Tetradic

A tetradic color scheme involves four colors that

are evenly spaced on the color wheel. This type of
palette is bold and dynamic, offering a wide range
of visual expression. To effectively use a tetradic
scheme, it’s best to allow one color to dominate
while the remaining three serve as accents.
Balancing a tetradic scheme can be challenging due
to the variety of colors, but when done correctly, it
can create a rich and engaging visual harmony in
design projects.
