My Jack London Color Palette
While I have no intention of going feral or becoming the leader of a dog sled team, I do, however, get The Call of the Wild occasionally, a periodic signal that it’s time to shake things up. My personal solution is the split-complementary color scheme.
Split Complementary: pick a base color, say red, then go to it’s complement green but instead of green “split" left and right of green on the color wheel to blue green and yellow green. There are twelve different color schemes to pick from as you work your way around a full color wheel of primary, secondary and tertiary colors.
I knocked out the following examples to give you the range of palettes that a three color, split complementary (plus white) color scheme can achieve.
