- Tetradic: Two pairs of complementary colors. Enables rich, diverse expression, though balance is key.
- Monochromatic: Variations of a single hue with different brightness and saturation. Unified and refined.
- Shades: Variations created by adding black to the base color. Deep and subdued atmosphere.

Tips for Choosing Colors
Consider the following points to choose the best color scheme:
- Target audience: Who is the design for? Preferred colors vary by age, gender, and culture.
- Design purpose: What do you want to convey? Leverage the psychological effects of colors for trust, fun, luxury, etc.
- Readability: Ensure sufficient contrast between background and text colors so text remains easy to read.
- Number of colors: Keeping to 3-4 colors makes it easier to create a cohesive design. Define a main color, secondary color, and accent color.
