The split complementary colour scheme is a mix between complementary and analogous colours. This allow for both a strong contrast and one very solid colour harmony between the two analogous colours. What is also interesting about split complementary is that it introduces a particular imbalance of colours: the yellow is fighting against two colours, light-blue and purple.
