The following analogous shades match the RGBA 164 144 100 0.3 shade: RGB 164 110 101, RGB 164 127 101, RGB 164 144 101, RGB 164 161 101 and RGB 151 164 101

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 RGBA 164 144 100 0.3 shade: RGB 115 100 68, RGB 141 123 83, RGB 164 145 101, RGB 180 163 127 and RGB 195 182 153
