Tetradic Colour Scheme

T-DES-003-013

A Tetradic colour scheme should be composed of two sets of complementary colours. (in Figure 4.6: orange and light-blue is the first set. Yellow-green and purple is the second set.) This is a tricky colour scheme to pull of, but when you do, the results are vibrant and contrasted while having some harmonies. (Again with Figure 4.6: Orange and yellow-green are analogous, so are the light-blue and purple.)

Keep in mind though that while you are picking four colours, you should consider not using them in equal parts in your illustration. Consider using one or two colours as accents and using the rest to fill the page.
