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 #BCB421 it is the complementary color #434BDE. 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 #BCB421. 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 #BCB421 shade: #C1B41C, #D2C62F, #E3D842, #F4EA55 and #FFFC68

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 #BCB421 shade: #BAB221, #BA8921, #BA6021, #BA3621 and #BA2121

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.

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 #BCB421 shade matches the following richer shades: #BAB221 and #CCC20F

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 #BCB421 shade: #BAB221, #A9A333, #979344, #858356 and #737368

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

The following analogous shades match the #BCB421 shade: #BA5E21, #BA8721, #BAB021, #9CBA21 and #73BA21

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 #BCB421 shade: #746F15, #97911B, #BAB221, #DAD12B and #E0D84E

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 #BCB421 shade: #BCB421, #21BA35 and #7321BA

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 #BCB421 shade: #BCB421, #21BAB0 and #B021BA

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 #BCB421 shade: #BCB421, #21BA35, #212BBA and #BA21A6

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 #BCB421 shade: #BCB421, #21BA63, #212BBA and #BA2178

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