Analogous colors: Colors, which are next to each other on the color wheel.

Complementary colors: Colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel.
The high contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant look. Complementary color schemes are tricky to use in large doses, but work well when you want something to stand out.

Split-Complementary colors:
The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement. This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.
