A color and its opposite on the color wheel, +180 degrees of hue. High contrast.

#a100ff

Split-complementary

A color and two adjacent to its complement, +/-30 degrees of hue from the value opposite the main color. Bold like a straight complement, but more versatile.

Triadic

Three colors spaced evenly along the color wheel, each 120 degrees of hue apart. Best to allow one color to dominate and use the others as accents.

Analogous

Three colors of the same luminance and saturation with hues that are adjacent on the color wheel, 30 degrees apart. Smooth transitions.

Monochromatic

Three colors of the same hue with luminance values +/-50%. Subtle and refined.

Tetradic

Two sets of complementary colors, separated by 60 degrees of hue.
