To oblige you in a basic understanding of color, we review the six color principles in this Blog Post.
Understanding Color Theory Fundamentals
Millions of colors exist. Sixteen million and seven hundred, to be exact. The color wheel provides a simplified model of the primary color groupings and serves as the foundation for many color principles appropriated by various industries. The color wheel is a visual representation of where colors are situated in relation to the primary colors of red, yellow, or blue.
Color Wheel Consisting Of Primary Colors, Secondary Colors, Tertiary Colors
Three Core Color Properties

6 Color Scheme Types
A color wheel can offer guidance in establishing harmonious color combinations; however, not all people find the colors in the color wheel appealing, so these combinations will only befit certain individuals.
C Color has categorized millions of colors into four distinct C Color Spectrums. Each color in a C Color Spectrum shares a temperature, saturation, and base color. The base color is a predominant primary color that is either blue, yellow, or red.
Obviously, the colors on the color wheels can be more or less saturated, and that changes the predominant base of the colors on the color wheels.
1. Monochromatic Color Palette
Monochromatic colors are all of the colors of a single hue, although the colors differ in saturation. Derived from a single base color, the color is more or less saturated by tints, shades, and tones. Adding the color white creates tints, and adding darker colors, such as gray or black, creates shades and tones.
Attire can be curated from various intensities of blue, such as light blue, medium blue, and dark blue, resulting in monochromatic color-coordinated apparel. The differing saturations apply to all colors. Monochromatic clothing is often seen on the covers of fashion magazines.
2. Analogous Color Palette
Analogous colors are groups of three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel and include a tertiary color. Analogous colors are comparable in certain aspects. Red, red/orange, orange, yellow, yellow/green, green, blue, blue/violet, violet, red/violet, and red are examples of analogous colors.
An analogous color-coordinated ensemble appears complementary and well-matched.
3. Complementary Color Palette
Complementary colors are pairs of colors that contrast with each other more than any other color and, when situated next to each other, appear brighter. Complementary color pairs are red/green, yellow/violet, and blue/orange. Accordingly, complementary colors or opposite colors are pairs of colors that, when combined or mixed, lose their color and appear as a grayscale color nearing white or black.
4. Triadic Color Palette
Triadic colors are comprised of three colors, evenly spaced on the color wheel, such as red, yellow, and blue. Customarily, one color will be considered the dominant color, while the two other hues are accent colors. Two triadic palettes are the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue and the secondary colors of green, purple, and orange.
To create a triadic color ensemble, select three colors that are equidistant around the color wheel, and if possible, choose patterns of these colors to avoid a color-blocked appearance.
5. Split Complementary Palette
Split Complementary colors consist of three colors: one primary color and two colors adjacent to its complement. The complement of blue/green is red/orange, and the split complement of blue/green is red and orange. Other examples include: red, blue/green and yellow/green; blue, red/orange and yellow/orange; yellow, blue/purple and red/purple. A split complementary color scheme is a variation of a complementary color scheme.
The Indicators Below Are An Example Of A Split Complementary Palette
Creating Split Complementary color apparel would require blending a multitude of colors. Integrating patterns of these colors rather than solely utilizing solid colors is less complicated to achieve.
6. Tetradic Color Palette
Tetradic colors are a combination of four colors that consist of two sets of complementary colors. These colors form a rectangle on the color wheel. The richness of color harmony allows for a myriad of variations. Red, green, blue/purple, and yellow/orange, or yellow, purple, blue/green, and red/orange, are examples of tetradic color palettes.
As stated on numerous occasions above, the most favorable method of pairing these colors in attire is to intermingle patterns of these colors.
Redefine Your Wardrobe With C Color®
The six color principles may aid you in enhancing your wardrobe; nevertheless, the principles do not pertain to all individuals and do not take into account the inherent color inclinations of individuals.
The majority of the colors on the color wheels are comprised of the colors in the C Color Spectrum 3 category. A couple of the colors are within the C Color Spectrum 2 category.
Due to the fact that the color wheels primarily consist of colors that are Warm Yellow Based, and that only a couple are Cool Blue Based, the individuals that belong to C Color Spectrum 1: Cool Blue Ash Based, C Color Spectrum 2: Cool Blue Based, and C Color Spectrum 4: Warm Red Earth Based are either not well represented or not represented at all.
There is also confusion regarding the temperatures, saturations, and predominant bases of colors. Common belief is that blues, greens, and purples are cool colors and reds, yellows, and oranges are warm colors, nevertheless all colors can be cool or warm.
