Triad Colour Scheme

Triad Colour Scheme


Three colours equally spaced from each other create the
triad colour scheme.

It can be quite challenging to decide on which colours will work well together. To make things easier, there are scientific colour combinations that will work together to create contrast and/or harmony.


Three colours equally spaced from each other create the triad colour scheme. Always choose one hue as the dominant colour and use the others as accents. Feel free to use the hue’s tints and shades but don’t combine the two or this combination will clash.
