A split-complementary color palette consists of the main color along with those on either side (30°) of the complementary color.

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.

Thus, #CB4F98 (Mulberry (Crayola)) and #98CB4F (Android Green) along with #4F98CB create a stunning and beautiful triadic palette with the maximum variation in hue and, therefore, offering the best possible contrast when taken together.
Tetradic Palette

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.
Square Palette
