Colour pairings
What colour goes with what?
The right matches, colour by colour — the dominant, the secondary and the accent that hold together.
The colour wheel
Find the right accord
Pick your colour, then the harmony. The wheel places the markers correctly, following colour-wheel theory (the painter’s wheel: green’s complement is red, not purple).

The harmony
Two colours opposite on the wheel. Strong contrast: one dominates, the other accents.
E.g. green & red, blue & orange, yellow & violet.
①
60/30/10 reminder: always keep a single dominant, even in a triad. The other colours as secondary and accent.
