Harmonious or analogous colors are those that appear next to one another on the color wheel, such as red and orange, orange and yellow, yellow and green, green and blue, blue and violet, and violet and red. Analogous colors can go beyond two colors such as groups of red, orange and yellow, or blue, violet and red. They share similar pigments and tend to blend well with each other; creating very little contrast, which can create an elegant and soothing color combination.
