FAQ

What is color harmony?

Color harmony refers to combinations of colors that are considered visually pleasing based on their position relative to each other on the color wheel, such as complementary or analogous relationships.

Which harmony type should I use for a brand palette?

Analogous and monochromatic harmonies tend to feel safest for brand systems, while complementary and triadic harmonies work well when a product needs strong visual contrast or energy.
