Analogous Colour Schemes

Analogous colour schemes are another method of accomplishing harmony. They use adjacent colours on the colour wheel , such as yellows and greens, or pinks and purples. These colours usually work well combined together, creating serene and comfortable designs.

Analogous colours look very natural and are relaxing on the eye. In interior design the best results are created by choosing two or three colours: one to dominate, one to support and one to accent. However, analogous colour schemes can lack colour diversity. They are not as vibrant and dynamic as complementary schemes.
