Monochromatic color scheme A monochromatic color scheme consists of different values (tints and shades) of one single color. These color schemes are easy to get right and can be very effective, soothing and authoritative.[5] They do, however, lack the diversity of hues found in other color schemes and are less vibrant.

Analogous color scheme Analogous colors are colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Some examples are green, yellow green, and yellow or red, red violet and violet. Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are pleasing to the eye. The combination of these colors give a bright effect in the area, and are able to accommodate many changing moods. When using the analogous color scheme, one should make sure there is one hue as the main color.

Complementary color scheme Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange, red and green, purple and yellow. Complementary color schemes have a more energetic feel. The high contrast between the colors creates a vibrant look, especially when used at full saturation. Complementary colors can be tricky to use in large doses.

Neutral color scheme A color scheme that includes only colors not found on the color wheel, called neutrals, such as beige, brown, gray, black and white.

Accented neutral color scheme A color scheme that includes neutral colors, like white, beige, brown, gray, light brown or black, and one or more small doses of other colors. eg.brown and beige with blue, gray and black with red.

Warm and cool color schemes Warm color schemes do not include blue at all, and likewise, cool color schemes do not include red at all. For example, a color scheme that includes "warmer" colors may have orange, yellow, and red-orange in it. "Cooler" colors are green, violet, light blue, etc.
