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 158 168 138 shade matches the following richer shades: RGB 158 168 138, RGB 164 185 121, RGB 169 201 105, RGB 175 218 88 and RGB 180 234 72

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 158 168 138 shade: RGB 158 168 138, RGB 153 152 154, RGB 147 135 171, RGB 142 119 187 and RGB 136 102 204

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 158 168 138 shade: RGB 168 162 138, RGB 166 168 138, RGB 158 168 138, RGB 150 168 138 and RGB 142 168 138

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 158 168 138 shade: RGB 117 129 95, RGB 139 151 114, RGB 158 168 138, RGB 178 186 161 and RGB 197 203 185

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 158 168 138 shade: RGB 158 168 138, RGB 138 168 154 and RGB 166 138 168

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 158 168 138 shade: RGB 158 168 138, RGB 138 158 168 and RGB 168 138 158

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 158 168 138 shade: RGB 158 168 138, RGB 138 168 154, RGB 148 138 168 and RGB 168 138 152

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 158 168 138 shade: RGB 158 168 138, RGB 138 168 163, RGB 148 138 168 and RGB 168 138 143
