The Element of Color

The hue, or name of a color, is determined by its wavelength. Red, blue, green, yellow, and so forth are all hues. Temperature is an especially important aspect of hue. Temperature refers to the heat a color generates, both physically and psychologically.

My favorite color schemes of color harmony, or good relationships among colors, are monochromatic and analogous.
Variations on a single hue are used in monochromatic and the advantage is a high level of unity.
Monochromatic color system.
Adjacent colors on the color wheel are used in analogous and a high degree of unity is also ensured but the wider range of hues offers greater variety and can increase interest.
