Colors affect us in numerous ways, both mentally
and physically. A strong red color has been shown
to raise the blood pressure, while a blue color has a
calming effect. Color pertains to the quality or kind
of light reflected by the surface of an object. When
looking at the objects' characteristics, color has the
widest appeal.

Prang System
It is based on Brewster-Newton theory. It
deals with primary, secondary, and tertiary
colors. There are 12 basic hues in the prang
color system, namely: three primaries, three
secondaries and six intermediates.
Color harmony means pleasing, effective,
congruent and balanced combination of two or
more colors or shades. It does not imply a
random mixing of colors but a purposeful
selection of a number of colors to get the
desired effect. It is usually achieved by
combining related or contrasting colors.
 1. Monochromatic Color Scheme
It is otherwise referred to as one-mode or
one hue harmony. It combines different
intensities or values - lightness and darkness
or brightness and dullness - of one color only.
Examples are blue, light blue, dark blue.
 2. Analogous Color Scheme
It means a combination of two or more neighboring
colors in the color chart. An example is a yellow
dress, with a yellow-green collar, and ruffles with
green buttons and laces. Analogous color schemes
are often found in nature and are harmonious and
pleasing to the eye.
 1. Complementary Color Scheme
 2. Triadic Color Scheme
 3. Split complementary harmony
 4. Rectangle (Tetradic) Color Scheme
 5. Square Color Scheme
Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are
considered to be complementary colors (example: red and
green & Yellow and violet). The high contrast of
complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when
used at full saturation. Complementary color schemes are
tricky to use in large doses, but work well when you want
something to stand out. Complementary colors are really bad
for text.
A triadic color scheme uses colors that are
evenly spaced around the color wheel. Triadic
color schemes tend to be quite vibrant, even if
you use pale or unsaturated versions of your
hues. In this combination, the three colors are
placed in the chart as to mark out the three
points of an equilateral triangle.
In addition to the base color, it uses the two
colors adjacent to its complement. The split-
complimentary color scheme is often a good choice
for beginners, because it is difficult to mess up. It
is made by combining a primary or an intermediate
color in the chart with colors on each side of its
complement. This is a scheme of colors placed in
the chart as to describe the letter Y.
The rectangle or tetradic color scheme uses four
colors arranged into two complementary pairs. This
rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities for
variation. Tetradic color schemes works best if you
let one color be dominant. You should also pay
attention to the balance between warm and cool
colors in your design.
The square color scheme is similar to the rectangle,
but with all four colors spaced evenly around the
color circle. Square color schemes works best if you
let one color be dominant. You should also pay
attention to the balance between warm and cool
colors in your design.
This is a combination of a
black, white or gray.
This is a combination of a color
(any one from color wheel) and
black, white or gray.
