Monolithic and Monochromatic Color Combinations


The monolithic approach to color uses different shades of the same color.

Their first impression can be very subtle, soothing and at times if overdone, boring. Example Template

Monolithic
#00248f #0033cc #809fff

Monochromatic
#00248f #0033cc #809fff

Adding a contrasting black makes the color combo monochromatic and a little more interesting. Example Template

Triads

Triads are often used to produce pleasing color combinations.

These are made up of 3 colors that lie at equal distances from each other on the wheel.

Thus red, blue and yellow would form a triad, as would orange, green and violet.
