What is a Harmonious or Adjacent Colour Scheme?



With a Harmonious colour scheme, you use colours that are close to one another on the colour wheel. Typically, you choose three colours, but you can use a minimum of two to a maximum of five adjacent colours.


Using too many colours would disrupt the harmony of the scheme. Also, to guarantee harmony, try to select either all warm or all cool colours.

It provides a richer, more colourful solution than the monochromatic scheme, and a vibrant composition, but still not as vibrant as a complementary scheme
