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
Rust triadic color palette has three colors each of which is separated by 120° in the RGB wheel. Thus, #0EB741 (Dark Pastel Green) and #410EB7 (Interdimensional Blue) along with #B7410E 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 Rust has four colors - #0EB741 (Dark Pastel Green), #0E84B7 (Blue (NCS)) and #B70E84 (Medium Violet-Red) in addition to the base color (#B7410E). 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
Rust square color palette has #30B70E (Yellow-Green (Color Wheel)), #0E84B7 (Blue (NCS)) and #960EB7 (Purple (Munsell)). 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.

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.
