However, this is especially true for white, black and gray tones. With these, the contrasting colors are particularly natural, pleasant and common for our eyes.

The following split-complementary shades match the #257DA8 shade: #257DA8, #6825A7 and #A79C25

This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but is not as contrasting as the direct complementary color. The partial complementary color scheme is a good choice for designs. These colors usually complement each other very well.

A triadic color scheme uses colors evenly spaced around the color wheel. Triadic color harmonies are usually quite vivid, even if pale or unsaturated colors are used.

The following triaden shades match the #257DA8 shade: #257DA8, #A7257E and #7EA725

The colors should be well chosen to achieve triadic harmony. Let one color dominate and use the other two as accent colors.
