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 184 27 18 shade: RGB 186 27 18, RGB 169 42 35, RGB 153 57 51, RGB 136 72 68 and RGB 120 86 84

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 184 27 18 shade: RGB 186 18 99, RGB 186 18 55, RGB 186 27 18, RGB 186 71 18 and RGB 186 116 18

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 184 27 18 shade: RGB 111 16 11, RGB 148 22 15, RGB 186 27 18, RGB 223 33 22 and RGB 235 62 52

Monochromatic color schemes are often found in nature. They are harmonious and calm to the eye

The following split-complementary shades match the RGB 184 27 18 shade: RGB 184 27 18, RGB 144 186 18 and RGB 18 77 186

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.
