A split-complementary color palette consists of the main color along with those on either side (30°) of the complementary color. Based on our research, usage of split-complementary palettes is on the rise online, especially in graphics and web sites designs. It may be because it is not as contrasting as the complementary color palette and, hence, results in a combination which is pleasant to the eyes.

Bright Yellow triadic color palette has three colors each of which is separated by 120° in the RGB wheel. Thus, #2AFFEB (Fluorescent Blue) and #EB2AFF (Phlox) along with #FFEB2A create a stunning and beautiful triadic palette with the maximum variation in hue and, therefore, offering the best possible contrast when taken together.

The tetradic palette of Bright Yellow has four colors - #2AFFEB (Fluorescent Blue), #2A3EFF (Palatinate Blue) and #FF2A3E (Deep Carmine Pink) in addition to the base color (#FFEB2A). A tetradic color palette is complex and, in most cases, should not be used off-the-shelf. We suggest tweaking the colors slightly to achieve desired results.
