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 253 103 36 shade matches the following richer shades: RGB 252 104 37

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 253 103 36 shade: RGB 252 104 37, RGB 235 111 55, RGB 217 117 73, RGB 199 124 91 and RGB 181 131 108

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 253 103 36 shade: RGB 206 65 2, RGB 246 77 2, RGB 252 104 37, RGB 253 132 78 and RGB 253 160 119

The following tetraden shades match the RGB 253 103 36 shade: RGB 253 103 36, RGB 145 252 37, RGB 37 188 252 and RGB 145 37 252

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
