Color Schemes

A football team that has complementary colors are the Colorado Broncos. Because they have the colors Blue and orange.On a color wheel the colors blue and orange are across from each others.
The color combination to create Orange is Red + Yellow. To get the color Green you need Yellow + Blue. And to get Purple you need Blue + Red. So to get Orange,Green,and Purple you only need Red,Yellow,and Blue.
The difference between Tint and Shade is that Tint is lightened colors. It always begins with white and add a bit of color to it. And Shades are darkened colors. It always starts with a color and add just a bit of black.
