A color wheel shows how hues relate to one another. Color harmony is the art of combining colors that look balanced together, derived using simple geometric rules on the wheel.
Frequently asked questions
A harmony is a set of colors generated from a base hue using a fixed rule on the color wheel, such as complementary or analogous.
Good to know
- Complementary colors sit 180° apart on the wheel and create strong contrast.
- Analogous colors sit close together (within about 30°) and feel calm and cohesive.
- The color schemes page compares all six harmony rules for one base color side by side.
