2. COLOUR SCHEME

3. WHAT IS COLOUR SCHEME?
• A colour scheme is a set of colours selected as a part of design.
• Criteria for defining a colour scheme typically includes both aesthetics and
functional considerations such as visibility.

4. WHAT ARE BASIC COLOURS?
• There are 3 kinds of colours namely primary colour, secondary colour and
tertiary colour.
• Primary colours include Red, Blue and Yellow. These are the only colours which
cannot be prepared by mixing with the others.
• Secondary colours include Orange, Purple and Green. These are made by
mixing primary colours.
• Tertiary colours include six shades formed by mixing primary and secondary
colours.

5. HOW ARE SECONDARY COLOURS FORMED?
• The following examples show how secondary colours are formed
1. Red + Yellow = Orange
2. Blue + Yellow = Green
3. Red + Blue = Purple

6. TRADITIONAL COLOUR WHEEL

7. CHANGING COLOURS
WITH NEUTRALS
• In this the colours made lighter or darker.
• There are 3 main colours. They are –
1. Tint : The act of lighting a colour by
adding white to it.
2. Shade : The act of darkening a colour by
adding black to it.
3. Tone : Slightly darkening a colour by
adding grey to it.

8. WHAT ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COLOUR SCHEMES?
• Complementary colour scheme
• Split – Complementary colour scheme
• Analogous colour scheme
• Triadic colour scheme
• Tetradic colour scheme
• Square colour scheme
• Monochromatic colour scheme

9. CLASSIFICATION OF COLOUR SCHEMES
• Colour schemes are classified as two types.
• They are –
1. Similar or related colour schemes – these are produced from the colours that lie
near eachother on the colour wheel.
2. Contrasting colour scheme – these are produced by combination of colours
that are apart from colour wheel. They vary in intensity of colour.

10. SIMILAR OR RELATED COLOUR SCHEMES

11. MONO CHROMATIC COLOUR SCHEME
• It is based on only 1 single colour tint.

12. ANALOGOUS COLOUR SCHEME
• They use three adjacent colours on colour wheel.

13. CONTRASTING COLOUR SCHEMES

14. COMPLEMENTARY COLOUR SCHEME
• They use two opposite colours on the colour wheel.

15. SPLIT – COMPLEMENTARY COLOUR SCHEME
• The primary colour is used with two analogous colours to create a complement.

16. SPLIT – ANALOGOUS COLOUR SCHEME
• Unlike the regular analogous color scheme which usually consists of one primary, one secondary, and one
tertiary color.
• Colours used can be even primary colour or secondary colour or tertiary colour.

17. TRIADIC COLOUR SCHEME
• It is combination of 3 colours.

18. SQUARE / RECTANGULAR / TETRADIC COLOUR SCHEME
• It is spacing of 4 colours evenly around the colour circle
