Split Complementary Colours

• Like Complementary Colours but one of the colourpoints is split equally in two, and the third is opposing their centrepoint

• The split pair can be separated by a narrow or wide margin/range (a wider margin will approach a Triadic Colours scheme)

• Good option for limited palette - offers harmony of Complementary Colours while covering more of colour wheel and including a wider range of colours

• Can also split both complementary centrepoints (sometimed called Tetradic Colours)

  • Works best if the margin/range between each split is relatively narrow
  • Wide tetradic schemes can be difficult
