Harmony is when two things go good together or work peacefully together. It is a sort of tranquility. Harmony is nature's way of saying that two or more things make sense together. Colour harmony represents how two or more colours work together in unity. Harmonious combinations are pleasing to the eye and attract attention.
The colour wheel becomes the designer's tool for choosing harmonious colours.
What follows are different examples of colour harmonies found on the colour wheel that all begin with the colour yellow as the main colour, but you can choose different harmonies with any colour from the colour wheel.
The picture below is a good example of the use of monochromatic harmonies.The main colour used is orange. You can see different shades and tints of orange within the same colour family.
The clocks below are a good example of Analogous colours being chosen from three of twelve parts of the colour wheel sitting side-by-side.
Complimentary colours are my personal favourite in colour harmony. Being so opposite, and working so well together is why i love complimentary colours.
Colour can come first or last in the designing process, either way the combination must be chosen carefully and must work together. The colour of a work is very important and could make it or break it.
You must also see the message you are trying to send when choosing the colour palette by taking psychology of colours into consideration.
