Monochromatic Scheme= made of all the hues (tints and shades) of a single color This scheme looks clean and soothing. You can use it to establish an overall mood. Made by mixing the “single color” with neutral colors such as black and white. (blue-light blue-bright blue- navy)

Pablo Picasso, "The Tragedy“ In his early twenties, the young Pablo Picasso began to tint his paintings a pale, cold blue. For three years ( ), he paints as if he is viewing the world through blue spectacles. No other artist had ever done this.

Analogous Scheme= made of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Composed of 3 “neighbor colors” next to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a dominant color while others are used as accent colors.

Vincent Van Gogh, "The Iris" 1889

Complementary Scheme= made of two colors opposite each other on the color wheel. This combination gives high-contrast, by using a warm color with a cool color

Paul Cezanne, "Still Life with Onions"
