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, #EA4470 (Paradise Pink) and #70EA44 (Kiwi) along with #4470EA 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 Original Blue has four colors - #EA4470 (Paradise Pink), #EABE44 (Maximum Yellow Red) and #44EABE (Turquoise) in addition to the base color (#4470EA). 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.
Original Blue Color Rainbow Palette
Our Original Blue 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.
