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 RGB 156 140 114. Besides the border colors white and black, almost all colors have lighter versions that can be used optimally in web design

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 RGB 156 140 114 shade: RGB 157 140 114, RGB 157 129 114, RGB 157 117 114 and RGB 157 114 114

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 RGB 156 140 114 shade matches the following richer shades: RGB 157 140 114, RGB 176 145 94, RGB 196 150 75, RGB 215 154 55 and RGB 234 159 36

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 RGB 156 140 114 shade: RGB 157 140 114, RGB 137 136 133, RGB 118 131 152, RGB 99 126 172 and RGB 79 122 191

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

The analog color scheme uses colors that are directly adjacent to each other in the color wheel. They usually fit together well and result in a calm and comfortable design.

The following analogous shades match the RGB 156 140 114 shade: RGB 157 117 114, RGB 157 129 114, RGB 157 140 114, RGB 157 152 114 and RGB 150 157 114

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 RGB 156 140 114 shade: RGB 111 98 77, RGB 135 119 94, RGB 157 140 114, RGB 174 160 138 and RGB 191 180 162

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 RGB 156 140 114 shade: RGB 156 140 114, RGB 121 157 114 and RGB 123 114 157

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 RGB 156 140 114 shade: RGB 156 140 114, RGB 114 157 140 and RGB 140 114 157

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

The rectangular or tetradish color scheme uses four colors arranged in two complementary pairs. This rich color scheme offers many variation possibilities.

The following tetraden shades match the RGB 156 140 114 shade: RGB 156 140 114, RGB 121 157 114, RGB 114 130 157 and RGB 149 114 157

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 square color scheme is similar to the rectangular color scheme, with all four colors evenly distributed around the color circle. The square color scheme works best when one color dominates.

The following squaren shades match the RGB 156 140 114 shade: RGB 156 140 114, RGB 114 157 119, RGB 114 130 157 and RGB 157 114 152
