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 185 178 71 shade matches the following richer shades: RGB 185 178 70, RGB 206 196 49, RGB 226 214 29 and RGB 247 232 8

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.

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 185 178 71 shade: RGB 185 116 70, RGB 185 147 70, RGB 185 177 70, RGB 162 185 70 and RGB 131 185 70

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 185 178 71 shade: RGB 125 120 47, RGB 155 149 59, RGB 185 178 70, RGB 196 190 100 and RGB 208 203 130

The following split-complementary shades match the RGB 185 178 71 shade: RGB 185 178 71, RGB 70 185 85 and RGB 131 70 185

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 185 178 71 shade: RGB 185 178 71, RGB 70 185 177 and RGB 177 70 185

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 185 178 71 shade: RGB 185 178 71, RGB 70 185 85, RGB 70 78 185 and RGB 185 70 170

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 following squaren shades match the RGB 185 178 71 shade: RGB 185 178 71, RGB 70 185 120, RGB 70 78 185 and RGB 185 70 135
