Lion Color Palettes
Complementary Palette
The complement of Lion is Wild Blue Yonder with the hex code #9CAEDE. Complementary colors are those found at the opposite ends of the color wheel. Thus, as per the RGB system, the best contrast to #DECC9C color is offered by #9CAEDE. The complementary color palette is easiest to use and work with. Studies have shown that contrasting color palette is the best way to grab a viewer's attention.
Analogous Palette
The analogous colors of Lion (#DECC9C) are Medium Spring Bud (#CFDE9C) and Pastel Pink (#DEAB9C). In the RGB color wheel, these two analogous colors occur to the right and left of Lion with a 30° separation on either side. An analogous color palette is extremely soothing to the eyes and works wonders if your main color is soft or pastel.
Split-Complementary Palette
As per the RGB color wheel, the split-complementary colors of Lion (#DECC9C) are #9CCFDE (Pale Cerulean) and #AB9CDE (Light Pastel Purple). 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
Lion triadic color palette has three colors each of which is separated by 120° in the RGB wheel. Thus, #9CDECC (Pale Robin Egg Blue) and #CC9CDE (Wisteria) along with #DECC9C 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 Lion has four colors - #9CDECC (Pale Robin Egg Blue), #9CAEDE (Wild Blue Yonder) and #DE9CAE (Pastel Pink) in addition to the base color (#DECC9C). 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
Lion square color palette has #9CDEAB (Teal Deer), #9CAEDE (Wild Blue Yonder) and #DE9CCF (Orchid (Crayola)). 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.
Lion Color Rainbow Palette
Our Lion 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.
