  15. COOL COLORS • Remind us of water or sky • Give feelings of quietness or restfulness • Appear to recede and make body look smaller • Can be depressing if overdone

  16. MONOCHROMATIC COLOR SCHEME This is a one-color plan that uses different tints, shades and intensities of the color BLUE

  17. ANALOGOUS COLOR SCHEME This color scheme uses related, or neighboring colors on the color wheel with varying values and intensities of the colors.

  18. COMPLEMENTARY COLOR SCHEME This color scheme uses opposite hues on the color wheel. These colors are across from each other on the wheel and have great contrast.

  19. SPLIT-COMPLEMENTARY COLOR SCHEME This color scheme uses three colors, one color with the two colors on each side of its complement. VIOLET

  20. TRIAD COLOR SCHEME This color scheme combines three colors equidistant on the color wheel and has a great deal of contrast.

  21. ACCENTED NEUTRAL COLOR SCHEME This color scheme combines white, black, gray or sometimes beige with a bright color accent.
