Color schemes are guidelines for choosing groups of colors
that will harmonize forming combinations that are pleasing to eye. Formal color
schemes are based on combinations of colors from the color wheel selecting
according to various rules.
There are three types of formal schemes-
Simple harmony Schemes
Contrasting color schemes
Balanced color Harmony schemes
Simple Harmony Schemes
Simple color harmony schemes are those colors that are close
in a color wheel and are on the same level. The best example for these are
neutrals which are of different hues but have same saturation level. These
schemes are generally considered as safe and predictable and many painters use
this type of color schemes and are referred as tonality.
In this type of scheme there are other components also like
monochromatic color schemes, analogous color schemes and achromatic schemes.
Contrasting color harmonies
The contrasting color schemes have greater chances of
clashing and more care has to be given to ensure the combinations and harmonies.
It also constitutes cold warm color schemes, split complementary, double complementary
and complementary dyad schemes.
Balanced color harmony schemes
Balanced color harmony schemes are based on colors
equidistant on the color wheel which harmonize like equidistant notes in a
musical chord. It also constitutes triad schemes and tetrad schemes.
