Step 3: Choose a base color scheme

Analogous and monochromatic schemes are among the simplest and safest options to create. They offer less contrast than complementary harmonies. Monochromatic schemes focus on different tones, shades, and tints of a single hue, such as various shades of blue.

An analogous scheme takes a slightly different approach by using 3 colors of similar chroma that are placed next to each other on the color wheel, like blue, teal, and green. To enhance visual interest, you can also incorporate various shades, tints, and tones.

In this example, the analogous color scheme is an ideal base. It’s vibrant, bright, and eye-catching, and with a few adjustments, it can perfectly align with the color palette needs of a high-end fashion brand.
