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 16 73 162 shade: RGB 16 73 162, RGB 30 76 147, RGB 44 79 133, RGB 59 82 119 and RGB 73 85 104

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 16 73 162 shade: RGB 8 39 87, RGB 12 56 124, RGB 16 73 162, RGB 19 90 199 and RGB 28 108 232

The following split-complementary shades match the RGB 16 73 162 shade: RGB 16 73 162, RGB 133 16 162 and RGB 133 162 16

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.
