What is a triad color scheme?
A Triad Color Scheme traditionally uses three Hues that are evenly spaced around the Color Wheel. Above, you can see every fourth color has been selected, leaving three colors between each. Of course there are other types of Triad Color Schemes such as the Complementary Triad and Modified Triad. However, here we are taking a look at the most basic.
How do I choose a primary triad?
As we have seen, you can choose either a Primary Triad or a Secondary Triad. Although the choices seem limited, there are endless variations. Primary Triad colors create bright Secondary colors when blended. Secondary Triad colors are already mixed and will produce less intense colors when blended together.
Can you use a bold triadic color scheme?
You can use a bold triadic color scheme, but to create a more balanced or calming effect, consider a main bold color with more muted tones. When working with colors, it can seem a bit intimidating, especially if you are using triadic colors in a design or painting.
What colors complement each other?
Take, for example, orange coral standing out in the blue of the ocean, or lavender against the soft green of the foliage. Above is an example of a complementary combination: blue and orange. Notice how they are directly across from each other on the color wheel. These color combinations sit directly side by side on the color wheel.
