SCSScolor

A SCSS starter to create harmonic color palettes based on color wheel schemes.

HSLA

Hue: 0 to 360 degrees. 0 is Red, 120 is Green, 240 is Blue.

Saturation: 0 to 100 percent. 0 equals total desaturation, 100 is fully saturated.

Lightness: 0 to 100 percent. 0 equals Black, 100 equals White.

Alpha: 0 to 1. Fractions will output rgba colors while 1 will output HEX.

How to

  1. Open scss/_setup.scss.
  2. Edit the values for $hue, $saturation, $lightness, $alpha.
  3. Save and compile.

Color Schemes

Complementary

Complementary schemes are created by combining colors from opposite sides of the color wheel. Colors are 180 degrees separated in the color wheel.

Split Complementary

Split complementary schemes use colors that are on either side of the hue opposite your base hue. Colors are 150 degrees separated in the color wheel in each direction.

Analogous

Analogous color schemes are the next easiest to create. Analogous schemes are created by using three colors that are next to each other on the 12-spoke color wheel. Colors are 30 degrees separated in the color wheel in each direction.

Triadic

Triadic schemes are made up of hues equally spaced around the 12-spoke color wheel. Colors are 120 degrees separated in the color wheel in each direction.

Tetradic Rectangle

Four colors arranged into two complementary color pairs. A set of complimentary colors plus their 60 degrees separated in the color wheel.

Tetradic Square

Four colors arranged into two complementary color pairs. A set of complimentary colors plus their 90 degrees separated in the color wheel.
