The monochromatic color scheme is the different variations of colors derived from a particular base color using tints, shades and tones. Tints are added to a color by adding white to the base color.
Shades and tones are added to a color by adding a darker color, such as grey or black, to the base color.The analogous color scheme is when groups of colors, usually three, are adjacent in the color wheel having one dominant color, usually primary or secondary, with two different colors at its side, usually tertiary.
The complementary color scheme is any pair of colors that when are grouped together "cancel" each other out and create white or black depending on the light. They are often placed near each other and called opposite colors because they contrast.
The triads color scheme is when any three colors of the color wheel are equally spread out, usually using a triangle shape, in which they create vibrant colors that are in harmony with each other.
The split-complementary color scheme is a variation to the complementary color scheme that uses the same base color but with two analogous colors across the base color to add the same amount of contrast but with less tension.
