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 #9D9D9A it is the complementary color #626265. 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 following monochrome shades match the #9D9D9A shade: #757570, #898985, #9E9E9A, #B2B2AF and #C6C6C4

The following split-complementary shades match the #9D9D9A shade: #9D9D9A, #9A9E9A and #9C9A9E

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 #9D9D9A shade: #9D9D9A, #9A9E9E and #9E9A9E

The following squaren shades match the #9D9D9A shade: #9D9D9A, #9A9E9C, #9A9A9E and #9E9A9C

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