Split-Complementary Palette

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
Lavender Blue triadic color palette has three colors each of which is separated by 120° in the RGB wheel. Thus, #FFCCCC (Light Red) and #CCFFCC (Tea Green) along with #CCCCFF 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 Lavender Blue has four colors - #FFCCCC (Light Red), #FFFFCC (Conditioner) and #CCFFFF (Water) in addition to the base color (#CCCCFF). 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.

Note: For several colors purposes, a square palette may look much better than the tetrad color palette.
