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.

Thus, #FF99FF (Rich Brilliant Lavender) and #FFFF99 (Canary) along with #99FFFF 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 Ice Blue has four colors - #FF99FF (Rich Brilliant Lavender), #FF9999 (Light Salmon Pink) and #99FF99 (Mint Green) in addition to the base color (#99FFFF). 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.
