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 #55C5E2 it is the complementary color #AA3A1D. 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 #55C5E2 shade matches the following richer shades: #55C5E2 and #45CFF2

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 #55C5E2 shade: #55C5E2, #65BCD2, #75B2C2, #85A9B2 and #959FA2

The following split-complementary shades match the #55C5E2 shade: #55C5E2, #8D55E2 and #E2C655

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 #55C5E2 shade: #55C5E2, #E255C6 and #C6E255

The following squaren shades match the #55C5E2 shade: #55C5E2, #B855E2, #E27155 and #7FE255

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