AbstractStaticanalogousGenerates colors adjacent to the base color on the color wheel. Usually creates a calm and comfortable design.
The input color.
The angle to apply.
[base - angle, base, base + angle]
StaticcomplementaryGenerates the opposite color on the wheel. High contrast, hard to use in large quantities, best for accents.
The input color.
[base, base + 180]
StaticsplitGenerates a variation of the complementary color scheme. Instead of the opposite color, uses the two adjacent to the opposite. High contrast but less tension than complementary.
The input color.
The rotation angle.
[base, base + 150, base + 210] (assuming 30deg offset)
StatictetradicStatictriadicGenerates three colors evenly spaced around the color wheel. Offers high contrast while retaining harmony.
The input color.
[base, base + 120, base + 240]
Harmonic color generation. Usually the preferred color space is
HSL.
