Triadic color scheme: This picture uses orange, green, and purple. These three color are equally spaced from each other on the color wheel so it is a triadic color scheme.

  

Analogous color scheme: This picture uses red, red-orange, and orange; these colors are adjacent to each other on the color wheel which is why this is a analogous color scheme.

 

Monochromatic color scheme: This picture represents a monochromatic color scheme because it uses tints and shades of blue.

Complementary color scheme: This picture uses orange and blue which are opposite each other on the color wheel and that is why this is a complementary color scheme.

Split-complementary color scheme: This picture represents a split-complementary color scheme because it uses blue-green, and the colors adjacent to its complementary color which are red and orange.

Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition?

Designers need to utilize the color within a composition based on the feeling of the composition and what the message is supposed to be.

Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?

The color wheel is an important tool for graphic designers because they need to see which colors go together and for how the colors should be used

Find an example of neutral colors utilized within a design (hint: google poster design). Near the sample, discuss why you feel the designer included neutral colors within the composition.




 In this design neutral colors are used by the designer. I think the designer used neutral colors because the colors are subtle but they also stand out well. The neutral colors in the composition are all browns but the different shades of browns makes each one noticed next to the other.
