13. Color Harmonies

15. NOTE: Color theory only looks at hue In other words: Two displays could use any variations of brightness and saturation and still be following the same color harmony

17. Complementary

18. Easy to use. Calming. Hard to create contrast (though you can always add black/white)

21. Also easy to use. Richer than monochromatic. Recommendation: Pick one dominant color.

25. A little harder to do well. But allows for good contrast. Recommendation: Use one color as the dominant Color and use the other color for highlights.

27. Like complementary, this is a little harder to do well than monochromatic or analogous, but allows for good contrast. More nuanced than complementary.

32. Achromatic (no color, just black, white & grays)
