Rules for colors that go together
- Neutrals (white, cream, beige, gray, charcoal, navy) go with almost everything.
- Complementary colors, opposite on the wheel, give the strongest contrast; use one as an accent.
- Analogous colors, neighbors on the wheel, always look harmonious.
- Match intensity: muted colors go with muted colors, bright with bright.
- Vary lightness so colors stay distinct, and check text contrast.
