Colors
Color harmony theory goes beyond simple complementary pairs. This color harmony explorer generates advanced four-color schemes including tetradic, square, double complementary, compound, and clash harmonies. These balanced arrangements are used by professional designers to create visually dynamic yet cohesive color palettes. Whether you're designing a brand identity, a game interface, or an illustration, understanding color harmonies helps you choose colors that work together naturally and attractively.
A tetradic scheme uses four colors arranged in two complementary pairs, forming a rectangle on the color wheel.
A square scheme spaces four colors exactly 90° apart. Tetradic uses two pairs with varying spacing, creating more contrast.
A clash scheme pairs colors that are slightly off-complementary, creating tension and visual energy — popular in fashion design.
Most UI palettes use 2–4 main colors plus neutrals. Four-color harmonies give you a complete primary-secondary-accent set.
