color harmony
Hues working together
Color harmony is the pleasing arrangement of colors in a composition, where hues work together rather than clash.
Artists and designers study color harmonies—complementary, analogous, triadic—to create visual balance: The room's color harmony came from pairing warm terracotta with soft sage.
A harmonious palette feels intentional and unified.
