1.Monochromatic - containing or using only one color

2. Complementary - colors directly opposite each other in the color spectrum, such as red and green or blue and orange, that when combined in the right proportions, produce white light.

3. Analogous - Analogous (uh-NAL-uh-gus) colors sit next to each other on the color wheel. They tend to look pleasant together because they are closely related. Orange, yellow-orange, and yellow are an example of analogous colors. They are blended nicely in Sunflowers, a painting by Vincent Van Gogh.

4. Accented Neutral - Accented Neutral Color Scheme - Several neutral colors plus one hue from the color wheel as an accent. Example: brown, beige, black white and blue. Split Complimentary Color Scheme – Starting with a pair of compliments such as yellow and violet use the colors adjacent to one of them.

5. Warm Colors - The phrase used to describe any color that is vivid or bold in nature. Warm colorsare those that tend to advance in space and can be overwhelming. Examples ofwarm colors include red and orange (think exciting fire and volcanoes). Contrast with cool colors.

6. Cold Colors - The phrase used to describe any color that is calm or soothing in nature. Cool colors are not overpowering and tend to recede in space. Examples of cool colorsinclude white, gray, blue and green (think calming blue waters). Contrast with warmcolors.

7. Triad - A triadic color scheme usescolors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel.

8. Neutral - Pure achromatic colors include black, white and all grays; near neutrals include browns, tans, pastels and darker colors. Near neutrals can be of any hue or lightness. Neutrals are obtained by mixing pure colors with white, black or gray, or by mixing two complementary colors.
