How do we use analogous colors?
|
Analogous
colors are
a palette of compatible color combinations that blend well together. They
are neighbors on the color wheel. They tend to live harmoniously because
they are relatives to each other.
Analogous colors are less vivid, bright and saturated. They have less contrast and vibrational energy then complementary colors. A good textual example is in Texturing & Painting by Owen Demers. "Think of purple, blue, and, magenta colors in a twilight sky or the yellows, golds, and oranges in an Arizona desert. A pine forest has light greens to blues and purples within its depths." If ever in doubt about what looks good, look to nature. The color combinations are breathtakingly beautiful and are in full harmony.
