Thus, as per the RGB system, the best contrast to #F5DEB3 color is offered by #B3CAF5. 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 Wheat (#F5DEB3) are Pale Spring Bud (#EBF5B3) and Melon (#F5BDB3). In the RGB color wheel, these two analogous colors occur to the right and left of Wheat 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 Wheat (#F5DEB3) are #B3EBF5 (Pale Blue) and #BDB3F5 (Vodka). 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
Wheat triadic color palette has three colors each of which is separated by 120° in the RGB wheel. Thus, #B3F5DE (Magic Mint) and #DEB3F5 (Mauve) along with #F5DEB3 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 Wheat has four colors - #B3F5DE (Magic Mint), #B3CAF5 (Pale Cornflower Blue) and #F5B3CA (Cameo Pink) in addition to the base color (#F5DEB3). 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
Wheat square color palette has #B3F5BD (Magic Mint), #B3CAF5 (Pale Cornflower Blue) and #F5B3EB (Light Hot Pink). 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.
