Identify the harmony scheme for each of these sets of colors. To find the answer, it may help to convert the colors to a different color model or to refer to a color wheel. You can do this by either using either the “Color Spaces” software or by accessing the color selection dialog in a commercial paint package.

a. A Hue of 0 degrees corresponds to Red; a Hue of 120 corresponds to Green. Red and Green appear opposite each other on an artist’s color wheel. This is a complementary scheme. This is the color scheme for Figure 9-15 (the green version of the MySign main page).


b. The Hues range between 30 and 62, which means they appear close together on an artist’s color wheel. This is an analogous color scheme and comes from Figure 9-18 (the Tan version of the MySign


c. The Hues all have the same value. This is a monochromatic scheme, taken from Figure 9-12 (the peach version of the MySign main page).


d. The key to determining the color scheme here is to convert to HSB:








The hues are Yellow, Blue and Red, which on an artist’s color wheel, appear evenly spaced around the circumference. This is a triadic scheme, taken from Figure 9-21 (the navy blue and red version of the MySign page)


e. Here are the colors, converted into HSB:
