We will discuss tin this post what none as the Color Scheme. Color schemes are colors on the color wheel that logically go together. There are ten major types of color scheme. I will describe them below.
Monochromatic Color Scheme.
A Monochromatic color scheme is when you use one color and then use the different value of that color. A value (tints and shades) is the mixing of ether white (tint) or black (shade) to the color. These color scheme invokes a feeling of calm and authority. An example of a monochromatic color scheme is blue, light blue, and dark blue.

Analogous Color Scheme
An analogous color scheme is when you use adjacent colors on the color wheel. One color should be the main color and the other colors are to complement that color. This scheme is often found in nature and can be very pleasing to the eye. It can brighten up an area. An example of a Analogous Color Scheme is green, yellow-green and yellow.

Complementary Color Scheme
A complementary color scheme is when you use tan opposite color on the color wheel. This scheme gives an energized feeling and a vibrant look. The use of the complementary color scheme can be a little tricky, so be careful how you use it. An example of a Complementary Color Scheme is blue and orange or red and green.

Split-Analogous Color Scheme
A split-analogous color scheme is an alteration on the analogous color scheme. This scheme uses the one main color and then two colors that are a space apart on the color wheel. This scheme invokes a similar feeling as the analogous color scheme. An example of a Split-Analogous Color Scheme is red, blue, and violet.

Split-Complementary Color Scheme
A split-complementary color scheme is similar to the complementary color scheme. This scheme uses one main color then two colors that are complements of each other. This scheme is best used when giving a computer present ion. In this scheme you need to be careful what two colors you use as complements. Some colors that shouldn't be used is red and green. Some good colors to use are red/ violet and yellow/green.

Triadic Color Scheme
A triadic color scheme is when you use three colors that forms a triangle on the color wheel. An example of a Triadic Color Scheme id red, yellow, and blue.

Tetrads Color Scheme
A tetrads color scheme is when you use four colors that go logically together such a two pairs of complementary colors. An example of a Tetrads Color Scheme yellow, violet, blue, and orange.

Neutral Color Scheme
A neutral color scheme uses colors that are not found on the color wheel such as beige, brown, gray, black and white.

Accented Neutral Color Scheme
An accented neutral color scheme is when you use the neutral colors and one or more accent colors that are found on the color wheel. An example of an Accented Neutral Color Scheme is black, white and red.

Warm and Cool Color Schemes
A warm and cool color schemes is when you use only the colors that are considered “warm” or only the colors that are considered “cool”. A “warm” is any color that doesn't have any blue in it. A “cool” color is any color that doesn't have any red in it. An example of a Warm Color Scheme is orange, yellow, and red-orange. And example of a Cool Color Scheme is green, violet, and light blue.
Now that we have a better understanding of color and color schemes, let's go out and start mixing colors.
