How to choose a color palette

A good palette has 3 to 5 colors, balanced with the 60-30-10 rule.

  1. 60%

    The main color

    The background, the sky, the walls: the largest area of the drawing. A calm, often light color.

  2. 30%

    The secondary color

    The main elements of the drawing or decor. It gives the palette its character.

  3. 10%

    The accent

    A few eye-catching touches: a star, buttons, a highlight. Often the brightest.

Colors that go together

Three simple ways to combine colors, using the color wheel.

  • Analogous colors

    Side by side on the wheel (yellow, orange, red): a soft, harmonious set.

  • Complementary colors

    Opposite on the wheel (blue and orange): a strong contrast that makes the accent pop.

  • Monochromatic

    Several shades of one color, light to dark: elegant and foolproof.
