About the color wheel

The color wheel arranges hues around a circle so designers can quickly see relationships between colors. Use it to pick harmonious palettes for websites, branding, illustrations, and interiors.

  • Complementary — opposite hues, high contrast.
  • Analogous — neighbours on the wheel, calm and cohesive.
  • Triadic — three evenly spaced hues, vibrant and balanced.
  • Tetradic — two complementary pairs, rich and varied.
  • Split complementary — a base plus the two neighbours of its complement.
  • Monochromatic — a single hue at varying lightness.
