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 181 215 227 shade: RGB 121 183 204, RGB 151 199 216, RGB 181 215 227, RGB 211 231 238 and RGB 241 247 250

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 181 215 227 shade: RGB 181 215 227, RGB 227 181 215 and RGB 215 227 181

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 181 215 227 shade: RGB 181 215 227, RGB 202 181 227, RGB 227 193 181 and RGB 206 227 181

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
