Monochromatic color refers to a color scheme that is comprised of variations of one color. You can use any color to create a monochromatic color scheme. For example, adding white to red creates pink, adding black to red creates maroon, etc. Then, you could have a monochromatic color scheme of pink, red, and maroon.

To start, I recommend choosing three colors for your palette: a main (or primary) color, secondary color, and accent color. Then, use the 60/30/10 rule to apply these colors in your website design. ing to this rule, 60% of the color used should be the main color, 30% the secondary color, and 10% the accent color.

To create a a perfect monochromatic color scheme, interior designers choose a base color and then explore its lighter and darker shades, as well as its muted and more intense versions. For example, if the chosen base color is blue, the palette may include pastel blues, navy blues, aquamarine, and other related tones.

Color psychology can play a role here as well. Soft, muted colors convey a totally different look and feel from bright, vivid colors. A monochromatic blue color scheme might appear calming and soothing; but a complementary blue and orange color scheme could look playful and exciting.

Why should we avoid a monochromatic color scheme? Using only one color (with different tints and shades) can make a design look flat and unexciting. Limited contrast can make it hard to distinguish elements, especially in web design and UI/UX.

A monochromatic color scheme is typically made up of a base hue and a selection of that hueʼs tint, shades, and tones to create a look that communicates the right message for your design and keeps the base hue from overwhelming your design.

A monochromatic palette is a color scheme that comprises a single color in varying shades, tints, and tones. Saturation, the intensity or purity of a colour, plays a big role in this kind of palette. By playing with different saturation levels, you can create a whole range of different moods and styles.

The 3 color rule is simple: pick one primary color. Then, pick two other complementary colors. See the example below. We picked a main hue (a variation red), and complemented it with two different colors.
