This tool provides a basic overview of any particular color and colors related to it. The bottom section gives a brief introduction to the color wheel. To choose a color, select a color in the button next to "Search" or type in a hex code, rgb code, or color name into the search bar and click "Search". You can also click on any color shown below to switch to that color.

Color Details

Hex Code	#0052b3
RGB	rgb(0, 82, 179)
CMYK	cmyk(100, 54, 0, 30)

Shades and Tints

A shade of a color is a mixture of that color and a certain degree of black. A tint of a color is a mixture of that color and a certain degree of white. The colors below are the shades and tints of rgb(0, 82, 179) with varying degrees of mixture.

Complementary Color

A complementary color is a color which exists on the opposite side of the color wheel and can be considered a color's opposite. Complementary colors play well with eachother and can make each other appear brighter, "pop", be used to give contrast to a color which is displayed prominently, and more.

Split Complementary Colors

Split complementary colors are a group of three colors which have a relationship similar to that of complementary colors. Instead of picking the "opposite" of a color, find that opposite, then pick colors closely related on each side of the color wheel.

Analogous Colors

A group of analogous colors are colors which are very close to each other on the color wheel yet distinct from each other. Using analogous colors together can provide a harmonious look so long so long as it is not overdone.

Triadic Colors

A group of triadic colors are a group of three colors which are spaced evenly across the color wheel. In that sense they are "equidistant" from each other in the same way two complimentary colors are from each other. An example of a group of triads is the primary colors. The colors within a group provide a strong sense of contrast with each other and for that reason should be used carefully.

Tetradic Colors

A group of tetradic colors are a group of four colors which are spaced evenly across the color wheel, similarly to triadic colors. The colors within a group provide a vibrant scheme and strong sense of contrast.

Color Wheel

The color wheel, also known as the color disk or color circle, is a visualization of colors in a circular structure based on hues, tints, and shades. There are multiple versions of this visualization; some show a ring of colors (hues) with distinct colors. The one here shows the hues and their tints and shades in a continuum. The color wheel has a wide array of applications, a few of the most common include:

Simplify the process of finding complementary colors, analagous colors, tetrads, etc, especially by hand.
Represent the colors in a quasi-sorted manner.
Find new color schemes and palletes by finding existing ones on the wheel, then applying rotations to that existing pattern.
