    Contrasting Schemes
    Colours that are opposite each other on the wheel create a high contrast look. This scheme produces a bold, stimulating effect.

    Blending Schemes
    These are based on different shades of one colour. Choose this scheme for a subtle, calming effect.

    Harmonious Schemes
    For colours that complement each other, choose shades that are not more than two colours apart on the wheel.
