Gradation

Accent color

Intermediate hues-the chromatic grays and muted colors created by the gradation of two RGB colors

Monochromatic- 1 hue
various intensities of same hue

Complementary- two hues directly opposite on the color wheel
various intensities of these hues
intermediate hues of various intensities created with the gradation of the two complements

Near Complement-two hues opposite each other on the color wheel, but slightly askew
various intensities of these hues
intermediate hues of various intensities created with the gradation of the two complements

Analogous- 3 adjacent hues
various intensities of these hue

 TRIADS:

Classic Triad-3 equidistant hues on the color wheel

Accented Analogous -3 adjacent hues and the complement of the middle hue (accent color)
various intensities of these hues
intermediate hues of various intensities created with the gradation of the two analogous colors and the accent color

Split Complementary- an accented analogous without the middle analogous hue
various intensities of these hues
intermediate hues of various intensities created with the gradation of the split analogous hues and the accent color

TETRADS:
Classic Tetrad- 4 equidistant hues on the color wheel

Dual Complementary- two adjacent hues and their complements
various intensities of these hues
intermediate hues of various intensities created with the gradation of the two adjacent complements
