Color Combinations
There are three primary color combinations: analogous color, complementary color, and split complementary color. In order to understand the concept of color combinations, it is a good idea to refer back to the color wheel.

Analogous Color
Analogous colors are colors next to each other on the color wheel. For example, orange, reddish orange, and red are analogous colors.

Complementary Color
Complementary colors are colors placed opposite on the color wheel. For example, greenish blue and reddish orange are complementary colors.

Split Complementary Color
Split complementary colors consist of a color and two colors next to that color’s complementary. For example, violet, yellowish green, and yellowish orange are split complementary colors.
