Graphic Design Worksheet: Colour Schemes

Animation and design lesson 11: Colour and colour schemes · Set 463 · 40 questions

Creator's tip (Round the wheel): Paint primaries: red, yellow, blue. Red + yellow = orange, yellow + blue = green, red + blue = purple. Complementary = opposite (180° apart); analogous = neighbours; monochrome = one colour; triadic = 120° apart. Tint = colour + white; shade = colour + black. Warm: reds, oranges, yellows. Cool: blues, greens, purples.
