1. Containing or using only one color.<\/div>\n

2. (of light or other radiation) Of a single wavelength or frequency.<\/p>\n

Mono will give you 4 additional colors on the same spectrum like in my webset all purple. You can see a great shadow color and great highlight. But what if your not looking for a monochromatic palate. Well there’s 5 other options hit those wheels.<\/p>\n

Complement<\/p>\n

com\u00b7ple\u00b7ment<\/em>\/\u02c8k\u00e4mpl\u0259m\u0259nt\/<\/h3>\n1. A thing that completes or brings to perfection.<\/div>\n
2. Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered to be complementary colors (example: red and green).<\/p>\n
3. The high contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at full saturation. This color scheme must be managed well so it is not jarring.<\/p>\n
4. Complementary colors are tricky to use in large doses, but work well when you want something to stand out.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n
Triad<\/p>\n
tri\u00b7ad<\/em>\/\u02c8tr\u012b\u02ccad<\/h3>\n1. A group or set of three connected people or things.<\/div>\n
2. A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel.3. Triadic color harmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of your hues.<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
Tetrad<\/div>\n
\n
tet\u00b7rad<\/em>\/\u02c8tetrad<\/h3>\n
1.\u00a0 A group or set of four.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
2. Are any four hues equidistant from one another on the color circle.\u00a0 This can be two pairs of complementary colors that are at right angles with each other.\u00a0 The double split complementary harmony is considered a variation of a tetrad.<\/div>\n
3. This rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities for variation.4. The tetradic color scheme works best if you let one color be dominant.<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
Analogic<\/div>\n
\n
a\u00b7nal\u00b7o\u00b7gous<\/em>\/\u0259\u02c8nal\u0259g\u0259s<\/h3>\n1. Comparable in certain respects, typically in a way that makes clearer the nature of the things compared.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
2. Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They usually match well and create serene and comfortable designs.<\/div>\n
3. Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.<\/div>\n
\n
4. Make sure you have enough contrast when choosing an analogous color scheme.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Accented Analogic<\/div>\n
\n
accented\/<\/em>ac\u00b7cent\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n1. Emphasize (a particular feature).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
2. Is another color scheme that uses 4 colors. It has the 3 colors all beside one another on the color wheel but an extra color is added. The complement to the center color is included in this scheme.<\/div>\n
What if I already have a color on my mind?
\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
Well there is the option of entering the hex code of your color manually into the wheel and then go threw the above options. By clicking on RGB a box will pop up. Enter your color here.<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
Saving your palette.<\/strong><\/div>\nSo I’ve played around and i found a palette i want to start with. How do i get the colors from my browser to Paint Shop. In the upper right hand corner there’s a list of options one contains export.<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
HTML+CSS<\/strong><\/div>\nDirects you to a page listing all colors and there hex codes. You can save this page by using the Save \/ Save As…<\/em> command in your browser to store the HTML for later use.<\/div>\n $\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
XML<\/strong><\/div>\nWhich honestly I don’t use and have no idea how to use it.<\/div>\n

ACO<\/strong><\/div>\n
Which is an automatic palette for Adobe Photoshop<\/a>. But since i don’t use Adobe Pohtoshop I’m unaware how to add these.<\/div>\n
GPL<\/strong><\/div>\nWhich is a \u00a0automatic palette for GIMP<\/a> . Which is a free graphic program pretty much up to Photoshop and Paint shop standards! But since i don’t use Gimp I’m unaware how to add these.<\/div>\n
Other Options<\/strong><\/div>\nAnd if none of these ways satisfy you there’s the good old fashion print screen function and copy into your Paint Shop Program. I particularly use the free version of Fireshot<\/a> for my Mozilla Firefox browser. You can also download it for Chrome and Internet Explorer. It allows you to either copy or save only visible parts of the website, the entire page or where you can select a piece of the webset. I use the free version and use it regularly!<\/div>\n
DeGraeve Color Palette Generator<\/strong> – Link<\/a><\/div>\n
So this site is another helpful tool. Say we have a picture that’s going to be our inspiration. We can take any photo we already have online and it will give us a list of Hex codes to use.<\/div>\n
Let’s say the photo of my dear dog Sophie is going to be my inspiration. Let’s upload it and see what the generator has to say.<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
Wow okay interesting choices. To save this palette your going to have to use print screen or Fireshot.<\/a><\/div>\n
ColourLovers <\/strong>– Link<\/a><\/div>\n
This website is like a social network like facbook. Where people upload there favorite palette combinations and people can vote on them. There are currently 1,691,559 palettes uploaded. Many pages to browse threw. But if inspiration isn’t hitting maybe browsing threw a few pages will help.<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
To save a palette you love just click on the individual palette, it will take you to it’s own special page. Where it will list the hex values of your colors.<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/a><\/div>\n
An download options box will be listed on the right hand side with MANY options.<\/div>\n
