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 #BDC9ABCE it is the complementary color #423654CE. 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 #BDC9ABCE. 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 #BDC9ABCE shade: #C2C9A6CE, #D3DBB9CE, #E4EDCCCE, #F5FFDFCE and #FFFFF2CE

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.

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 #BDC9ABCE shade: #BDC9AB, #BBBEB6, #B9B3C1, #B6A8CC and #B49DD8

The following monochrome shades match the #BDC9ABCE shade: #96A979, #A9B992, #BDC9AB, #D1D9C4 and #E5E9DD

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 #BDC9ABCE shade: #BDC9AB, #ABC9BD and #C9ABC9

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 #BDC9ABCE shade: #BDC9AB, #ABBDC9 and #C9ABBD

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

The following squaren shades match the #BDC9ABCE shade: #BDC9AB, #ABC9C6, #B7ABC9 and #C9ABAE

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