5.5 Color Harmony

5.5.1 Color Harmony Theorie

Individual colors in a Color Space that are available in a regular position to each other, result in a harmonious Color Scheme. These colors are in the color palettes: "Color Harmony".

Note! The current color palettes are only created by color shemes positioned directly on the Colorful Line. The advantage compared to color harmony software is, you can search on this color palettes for color harmonies and then, if it is necessary, edit the color harmonies to the Achromatic Line.

Warning! Is not always named the same. See 4.11.2 Color Sheme for Color Harmony in Software
