Analogous colors sit next to each other (e.g., blue, blue-green, green). Triadic colors are equally spaced (e.g., red, yellow, blue).
Complementary palettes create strong contrast and are great for call-to-action elements. Analogous palettes feel calm and cohesive, ideal for backgrounds and content areas. Triadic palettes are vibrant and balanced, good for colorful designs. Monochromatic palettes use one hue with varying lightness, creating an elegant, unified look.
