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 172 175 168. 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 172 175 168 shade: RGB 171 174 167, RGB 173 174 167, RGB 174 173 167, RGB 174 172 167 and RGB 174 170 167

They are stimulating and dynamic and are often used to attract attention or create a friendly and lively mood. An example of this transition is a shift from a cool blue through purple to red and orange.

Colder colors are created by shifting the hue towards green, blue and violet.

The following colder shades match the RGB 172 175 168 shade: RGB 171 174 167, RGB 170 174 167, RGB 168 174 167, RGB 167 174 169 and RGB 167 174 171

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 172 175 168 shade matches the following richer shades: RGB 171 174 167, RGB 173 188 154, RGB 175 201 140, RGB 177 215 127 and RGB 179 229 113

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 172 175 168 shade: RGB 171 174 167, RGB 169 161 181, RGB 167 147 195, RGB 165 133 208 and RGB 164 120 222

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 172 175 168 shade: RGB 174 173 167, RGB 173 174 167, RGB 171 174 167, RGB 170 174 167 and RGB 168 174 167

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 172 175 168 shade: RGB 130 135 125, RGB 151 154 146, RGB 171 174 167, RGB 192 194 189 and RGB 212 214 210

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 172 175 168 shade: RGB 172 175 168, RGB 167 174 172 and RGB 174 167 174

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 172 175 168 shade: RGB 172 175 168, RGB 167 171 174 and RGB 174 167 171

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 172 175 168 shade: RGB 172 175 168, RGB 167 174 172, RGB 170 167 174 and RGB 174 167 170

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 172 175 168 shade: RGB 172 175 168, RGB 167 174 174, RGB 170 167 174 and RGB 174 167 168
