Frequently asked questions
What is a complementary colour?
The colour directly opposite on the colour wheel (180° away in hue). Complementary pairs, such as blue and orange, create strong contrast.
What is the difference between triadic and tetradic?
A triadic scheme uses three hues spaced 120° apart; a tetradic (or square) scheme uses four hues spaced 90° apart. Both are vibrant, so let one colour dominate.
How are monochromatic shades created?
The hue and saturation are kept and only the lightness changes, producing a consistent scale from light tints to dark shades, which is ideal for UI states.
