Complementary means first and foremost complementary. With color tones there is always a direct complementary color that is exactly opposite to the other.

With this color tone #48E5E4 it is the complementary color #B71A1B. Both colors form the strongest contrast to each other and are especially recommended for use in direct connection with each other.

If you display a text with its complementary color on a background with the displayed color, you will get a representation that is pleasant to the eyes and clearly too indistinguishable from each other. 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.

Richer colors are created by increasing the saturation, which makes the colors appear more intense, brighter and stronger. A color with high saturation is more eye-catching and appears more vibrant and powerful. This effect can be used to emphasize important elements or to create a vibrant design.

The #48E5E4 shade matches the following richer shades: #48E5E4 and #37F6F5

An example is the development from a pale pink to a strong and bright red.

Less saturated colors are created by reducing the saturation, which makes the colors more muted, subtle and pastel-like. As the saturation is reduced further, they become closer and closer to a shade of gray. These colors appear calmer and more elegant and are suitable for a restrained and harmonious design.

The following paler shades match the #48E5E4 shade: #48E5E4, #59D4D3, #6AC3C2, #7BB2B2 and #8CA1A1

An example is the change of a strong blue to a subdued grey-blue or almost neutral shade.

The following monochrome shades match the #48E5E4 shade: #1BBFBE, #24E0DF, #48E5E4, #6CEAE9 and #90EFEF

The partial complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, the two colors adjacent to the complement are used.

The following split-complementary shades match the #48E5E4 shade: #48E5E4, #6548E5 and #E5A448

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 #48E5E4 shade: #48E5E4, #E248E5 and #E5E248

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

The following tetraden shades match the #48E5E4 shade: #48E5E4, #6548E5, #E5484B and #C8E548

It works best if you let one of these colors dominate. You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cold colors in the design

The following squaren shades match the #48E5E4 shade: #48E5E4, #9448E5, #E5484B and #99E548

Again, pay attention to the balance between warm and cold colors in the design.
