Co-op Community Color Palette

 

Co-op Community Color Palette

The Co-op community color palette is the left most column. The three columns on the right represent the additional colors to the corresponding row that could be used on the site. The complement column appears on the color wheel directly opposite tha respective color and is considered to be an excellent accent color whereever the two are found together. The Triad columns are also good choices to complement a color palete as they appear balanced on the color wheel anf form a triangle. If a Triadic color scheme is chosen BOTH colors should be incorporated into the palette. It is uncommon that both the Complement and Triad would be used at the same time.
