The following split-complementary shades match the #979CB2 shade: #979CB2, #B398B3 and #A8B398

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 #979CB2 shade: #979CB2, #B3989E and #9EB398
