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 #CD5F17 it is the complementary color #32A0E8. 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 #CD5F17 shade matches the following richer shades: #CF6017 and #E15C04

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 #CD5F17 shade: #CF6017, #BC632A, #A9673C, #976B4F and #846F61

The following split-complementary shades match the #CD5F17 shade: #CD5F17, #63CF17 and #171ACF

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 #CD5F17 shade: #CD5F17, #17CF5D and #5D17CF

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 #CD5F17 shade: #CD5F17, #2CCF17, #1788CF and #B917CF

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