is the color scheme that is associated with
electronic displays, such as CRT, LCD monitors,
digital cameras and scanners.
RGB
RGB is the color scheme that is associated with
electronic displays, such as
CRT, LCD monitors,
digital cameras and scanners.
It is an additive type of color mode that
combines the primary colors, red, green and
blue, in various degrees to create a variety of
different colors.
RGB
This is a four color mode that utilizes the colors
cyan, magenta, yellow and black in various amounts
to create all of the necessary colors when printing
images
CMYK
It is a subtractive process, which means that each
additional unique color means more light is
removed, or absorbed, to create colors.
CMYK
It is a —————-, which means that each
additional unique color means more light is
removed, or absorbed, to create colors.

Hue
Refers to the intensity
Saturation
How dark or how light the color is, ranging from black to white.

are made up
of different tones,
shades and tints within
a specific hue.
MONOCHROMATIC
These
are the simplest color
schemes to create, as
they’re all taken from
the same hue, making it
harder to create a
jarring or ugly scheme
(though both are still
possible).
monochromatic
are
created by using three
colors that are next to each other on the 12-spoke color wheel.
analogous
Traditionally, this
color scheme all have the
same chroma level, but by
using tones, shades, and
tints we can add interest to
these schemes and adapt
them to our needs for
designing websites.
analogous
are created by combining
colors from opposite sides
of the color wheel.
Complementary schemes
In their most basic form, these
schemes consist of only
two colors, but can easily
be expanded using tones,
tints, and shades.
Complementary schemes
add more
complexity than regular
complementary schemes.
SPLIT COMPLEMENTARY
In this scheme, instead of
using colors that are
opposites, you use colors
on either side of the hue
opposite your base hue
SPLIT COMPLEMENTARY
are made
up of hues equally spaced
around the 12-spoke color
wheel.
Triadic schemes
This is one of the
more diverse color
schemes. They can be
difficult to do well, but add
a lot of visual interest to a
design when they are
Triadic schemes
we use a
combination of four colors
that, as the name implies,
is made up of two
complementary color pairs.
DOUBLE-COMPLEMENTARY
To make it even easier, this
kind of color combination is also known as rectangular colors because when the four colors are connected
on the color wheel they
form a rectangle.
DOUBLE-COMPLEMENTARY
Instead of following the
predefined color schemes
discussed above, a custom
scheme isn’t based on any
formal rules. Keep in mind
things like chroma, value,
and saturation when
creating these kinds of
color schemes
