Figure 4.28 Some of the most common schemes for generating color palettes from a color wheel.

Figure 4.28 has some terms that we haven’t yet encountered, but they’re good to know before you go out into the wild and start reading about using a color wheel to choose color schemes. Complementary colors are exactly opposite each other on the color wheel, as in the top left corner of figure 4.28. In the bottom left corner, we have split complementary, which means that you pick one color on one side of the wheel, then draw a straight line to the color on the opposite side, but instead of using that color, you pick the two colors which are immediately adjacent on each side of it. Analogous colors, in the upper right, are all adjacent to each other on the color wheel, and you don’t have to limit yourself to three colors as I did in the figure. Finally, a triadic color scheme, in the lower right, is made by making an equilateral triangle, or a triangle with all sides of equal length, on the color wheel.
