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 #9C9FAC it is the complementary color #636053. 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.

Exposures are based on the same hue and represent lighter versions of the current color #9C9FAC. Besides the border colors white and black, almost all colors have lighter versions that can be used optimally in web design

The following lighter shades match the #9C9FAC shade: #A19FA7, #B2B1BA, #C3C3CD, #D4D5E0 and #E5E7F3

You can use them to modify buttons with mouse-over effects (called :hover in CSS) or to generate other color gradations like gradients.

Shades are based on the same hue and represent a darker version of the current color #9C9FAC. In addition to the border colors white and black, almost all colors have shades that can be used optimally in web design.

The following darker shades match the #9C9FAC shade: #9C9FAC, #8B8D99, #7A7B86, #696973 and #585760

Among other things, you can use them to modify buttons with mouse-over effects (called :hover in CSS) or generate other color gradations.

Warmer colors are created when the hue is shifted towards red, orange and yellow. These colors convey warmth, energy and an inviting atmosphere.

The following warmer shades match the #9C9FAC shade: #9B9EAB, #9C9BAB, #A19BAB, #A59BAB and #AA9BAB

They are stimulating and dynamic and are often used to attract attention or create a friendly and lively mood. An example of this transition is a shift from a cool blue through purple to red and orange.

Colder colors are created by shifting the hue towards green, blue and violet.

The following colder shades match the #9C9FAC shade: #9B9EAB and #9B9BAB

These colors have a cool, calming effect and create distance. They are often used to convey a sense of calm, freshness and stability. A classic example of this color range is a gradient from yellow to green to a deep blue or violet, reminiscent of water and sky.

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 #9C9FAC shade matches the following richer shades: #9B9EAB, #8C95BA, #7D8BC9, #6E82D8 and #6079E7

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 #9C9FAC shade: #9B9EAB, #AAA79D, #B9B18E, #C7BA7F and #D6C370

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

The analog color scheme uses colors that are directly adjacent to each other in the color wheel. They usually fit together well and result in a calm and comfortable design.

The following analogous shades match the #9C9FAC shade: #9BA7AB, #9BA3AB, #9B9EAB, #9C9BAB and #A09BAB

Analog color schemes are often found in nature. They are harmonious and pleasant to the eye. It is important that they have enough contrast. Choose one color to dominate and a second to support. The third color is used (together with black, white or grey) as an accent

The monochromatic color scheme uses colors that are on the same wavelength. They usually fit together very well and result in a pleasant and evenly colored design.

The following monochrome shades match the #9C9FAC shade: #6F7385, #848899, #9B9EAB, #B1B4BE and #C8CAD1

Monochromatic color schemes are often found in nature. They are harmonious and calm to the eye

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 #9C9FAC shade: #9C9FAC, #AB9BAB and #A5AB9B

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 #9C9FAC shade: #9C9FAC, #AB9B9E and #9EAB9B

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

The rectangular or tetradish color scheme uses four colors arranged in two complementary pairs. This rich color scheme offers many variation possibilities.

The following tetraden shades match the #9C9FAC shade: #9C9FAC, #AB9BAB, #ABA89B and #9BAB9B

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 square color scheme is similar to the rectangular color scheme, with all four colors evenly distributed around the color circle. The square color scheme works best when one color dominates.

The following squaren shades match the #9C9FAC shade: #9C9FAC, #AB9BA7, #ABA89B and #9BABA0

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