What's a chameleon?
Color Wheel is also called the Ring, a tool to rank colours in spectral order into circles. It is one of the most basic and important tools in the field of art and design, first invented by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666.
Common colour schemes
- Complementarity: Two colors in relative positions on the wheel. This coloured programme is the strongest visual impact and is suitable for emphasis.
- Similar colours: The next-door colour on the wheel. Similar colours are usually very harmonious, natural and comforting visual experiences.
- Tricolor (Triadic): Displays three colours of the equation triangle distribution on the wheel. Such a programme would maintain a balance of colour and provide a rich contrast.
- Split-Complementary: It consists of two similar colors on both sides of a dominant and complementary colour. It is less visual and more manageable than direct complementarities.
- Four Colour Schemes (Tetradic): Two sets of complementary programmes. The colours are very rich, but they need to be carefully balanced between the colours.
