What is color harmony?
One definition states that color harmony is a theory of combining colors in a fashion that is harmonious to the eye, such as colors that complement and blend well together.
For years, color harmony theories and definitions have centered around the color wheel.
How can you apply clear, logical rules to confidently create a harmonious color environment or wardrobe for yourself?
Read on to explore how the best practices generate color harmony.
Color Harmony And The Color Wheel
Most conventional color theorists, artists, or stylists refer to the color wheel when explaining how to gain color harmony.
A color wheel displays primary, secondary, and tertiary colors in a circle and illustrates the relationships between those colors. Individuals, when following color rules, may adhere to the color wheel relationships to coordinate outfits or decorate and design homes or offices.
The most common color wheel rules include:
- Monochromatic
- Analogous
- Complementary
- Triadic
- Split-Complementary
When faced with millions of color options, implementing these broad color constructs to guide your color resolutions can produce limiting and ineffective consequences.
Flaws With Traditional Color Harmony Theories
The color wheel provides loose guidelines for achieving color harmony. Fortunately, the traditional color rules are not the only method for creating harmonious color combinations.
Conventional color harmony rules can actually hinder your creativity and expression by limiting color usage to shades in a wheel. In addition, these rules assume that all individuals can wear or use the colors in a color wheel; however, millions of colors exist, so it is impossible for the color wheel to account for all of the colors in the world.
Moreover, people often confuse the temperatures, saturations, and predominant bases of colors. Color analysts, makeup artists, stylists, designers, and most other industry professionals categorize blues, greens, and purples as cool colors and reds, yellows, and oranges as warm colors; nevertheless, all colors can be cool or warm.
The above color quadrant displays a Cool Blue Ash Based pink color, a Cool Blue Based pink color, a Warm Yellow Based pink color, and a Warm Red Earth Based tan color, as examples to further distinguish the four C Color Spectrums. Each C Color Spectrum® contains millions of every color.
