In the RGB color wheel, these two analogous colors occur to the right and left of Emerald with a 30° separation on either side.

Split-Complementary Palette
As per the RGB color wheel, the split-complementary colors of Emerald (#50C878) are #B450C8 (Medium Orchid) and #C85064 (Dark Terra Cotta). 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.
Triadic Palette
Emerald triadic color palette has three colors each of which is separated by 120° in the RGB wheel. Thus, #7850C8 (Slate Blue) and #C87850 (Copper Red) along with #50C878 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
The tetradic palette of Emerald has four colors - #7850C8 (Slate Blue), #C850A0 (Mulberry (Crayola)) and #A0C850 (Middle Green Yellow) in addition to the base color (#50C878). 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
Emerald square color palette has #5064C8 (Han Blue), #C850A0 (Mulberry (Crayola)) and #C8B450 (Vegas Gold). Quite like triadic, the hues in a square palette are at the maximum distance from each other, which is 90°.
Note: For several colors purposes, a square palette may look much better than the tetrad color palette.
Emerald Color Rainbow Palette
Our Emerald rainbow color palette is based on the RGB model and consists of 7 colors, just like the traditional rainbow. You might not see a lot of variation in color, especially if the chosen color is dark or extremely light. However, this can lead interesting rainbow palettes that are faded, soft, pastel or dull.
