Technical Specification & Mathematical Principles

The scheme avoids the harsh tension of the exact opposite (+180°) by flanking it at symmetrical intervals: Hue_split1 = (Hue + 150°) mod 360° and Hue_split2 = (Hue + 210°) mod 360°.

Frequently Asked Questions

A split-complementary scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement (at +150° and +210°).
