Shades, tints and tones
Color harmonies
The hue directly opposite on the color wheel. Maximum contrast, ideal for a single accent against a dominant brand color.
Neighbouring hues that share a temperature. The safest harmony for calm, cohesive interfaces.
Three hues evenly spaced 120 degrees apart. Vibrant and balanced — use one as dominant and the other two sparingly.
The complement split into two adjacent hues. Nearly the contrast of complementary with noticeably less tension.
Four hues at 90-degree intervals. A rich set for illustration, data visualisation, and category coding.
Two complementary pairs offset by 60 degrees. Gives two warm and two cool options in one system.

Meaning, psychology and brand usage
Authority, and the safest text colour you can choose
Black reads as premium, definitive, and serious. True #000 on pure white is harsher than most eyes prefer at length — a near-black with a hint of the brand hue is easier to read and feels more considered.
Elegance and formality in Western markets, mourning in most, and authority nearly everywhere.
Carbon black from soot is among the oldest pigments in use. Ink-black printing set the typographic conventions that screen interfaces still inherit.
The default for luxury, fashion, and editorial. In dark interfaces avoid pure black surfaces — slightly lifted charcoals reduce halation around light text.
Common industries: Luxury, Fashion, Photography, Editorial, Audio. Pairs well with a single vivid accent, warm off-white for type, metallic tones for luxury.
