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 23 78 217 shade: RGB 23 78 217, RGB 42 86 198, RGB 62 95 178, RGB 81 103 159 and RGB 100 111 139

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 following monochrome shades match the RGB 23 78 217 shade: RGB 15 51 142, RGB 19 64 180, RGB 23 78 217, RGB 48 100 233 and RGB 85 128 237

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.
