Moving on, when it comes to Color Combinations, all of us make choices on combinations in our everyday life, be it while shopping, decorating a room, painting, buying stuff and what not.
What makes us choose a particular color could be either favoritism of a color or purely the contrast.
Here's how the Best Color Contrasts are generated.
Opposites Attract !
The Colors that are Opposite to each other generate the Highest Contrast and hence are paired the best. The Duo compliments each other and hence are also known as Complimentary Colors.
Edgy Monochromes
Monochrome combinations generate a edgy color contrast and makes a classy statement. Two colors from the same color family, one light and the other dark looks really attractive.
Triangular Trivia
Very Similar to the Complimentary colors, the colors that form a triangle in the standard color wheel (as shown below) also generate a good contrast and these colors are also popularly used and accepted.
These are called as Split Complimentary colors.
