Analogous

An analogous color scheme (shown above) is when colors are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, one is usually a primary color that corresponds with two secondary colors. They are always right next to each other on the color wheel. Which is displayed in the picture above with red being the primary colors, and orange and yellow being secondary.

Monochromatic

This board is an example of using a monochromatic color scheme with different shades of purple. You can do a monochromatic scheme with almost any color that is on the color wheel, as long as you use different shades. Try not to use a lot of the same shade of a color or you can overwhelm a room and throw it off balance.
