"I see color not as a decoration, but as the emotional structure of the digital canvas."

Complementary

Complementary colors are opposite each other on the wheel. This creates contrast that demands attention. "It's about finding that perfect equilibrium between two opposing forces."

02

Monochromatic

Monocramatic color schemes use different tones, shades, and tints of a single base hue to create a cohesive look.

03

Analogous

Analogous colors are colors next to each other on the color wheel. This often creates a warm tone or cool tone theme.
