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 of colors. 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 and that is inaccurate, as all colors can be cool or warm.
