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 #FCAE16 shade: #FCAE16, #18FBAC and #AC18FB

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