Choose your scheme

The reason the scheme is split is because, when using the Color Wheel Chart, there will always be a color that divides, or a color located in the middle.

It is really difficult to mess up with this colour scheme, have fun with it.

Lets start with Blue-violet.

The colors on either side of Blue-violet are important.

Violet and Blue are the colors for the split complementary scheme.

Blue-violet is in the middle, and symbolizes the split.

As you can see, when these two colors are used together they don't add much excitement.

When to choose this scheme

• These colors blend very well together, and they do give a slight bit of contrast.
• However, keep in mind that ideally when choosing a split complementary scheme there will be a minimum level of expectation for excitement.
• This split colour scheme should be used for boring things like computer presentations, informational gatherings, and waiting rooms or stations.
• Use the complimentary colour scheme in spaces where you want the viewer to be alert, but relaxed.
