FAQ
What is an analogous color scheme?
An analogous scheme uses 2-4 colors adjacent on the color wheel, within 30 degrees. They share undertones.
When should I use analogous colors?
Use for calm, cohesive designs. Great for backgrounds, nature themes, and non-jarring designs.
How is analogous different from monochromatic?
Monochromatic uses one hue with different lightness/saturation. Analogous uses multiple adjacent hues.
Can analogous palettes look boring?
They can if all colors have similar saturation and lightness. Add variety with different shades.
