Mom, you would appreciate this one. We talked about the various color schemes this week in Color Theory. Using the color wheel as a reference, there are a few to choose from. There's Complimentary (opposite sides of the wheel IE: 12 and 6 o'clock, 9 and 3 etc); Split Complimentary (Like complimentary but instead of one, it is both sides of it IE: 12 o'clock, 5, and 7-- splitting 6 into 5 and 7); Monochromatic (shades, tints, and tones of one hue); and Analogous (3 to 5 shades in a row IE: 12, 1, 2, 3 o'clock); and Triadic (3 colors, 3 spaces apart on the wheel IE 12, 4, and 8 o'clock). Make sense? Can you figure out which is which? And which of the 5 is not included? We had to represent each color scheme and include one neutral (Black, White, or Gray). These are cut up color swatches mounted about the size of a business card: 2x3.
