Triadic Colour Scheme
T-DES-003-011
The Triadic colour scheme uses three colours equally spaced around the colour wheel. A favourite among a lot of artist, the triadic scheme seems to offer to perfect balance between contrast and colour harmony. It won’t offer quite the drama that a complementary scheme would, but it is also a bit easier to pull off!
