When used together they appear brighter or more vivid. Choose one color to dominate and the other to accent. This gives sharp contrast.</p>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

<p><a href="http://www.flintwood.net/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/colorwheel-harmonious.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13" title="colorwheel-harmonious" src="http://www.flintwood.net/news/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/colorwheel-harmonious.jpg" alt="" width="66" height="66" /></a><strong>Harmonious</strong> colors are next to each other on the color wheel. Two or more adjacent colors work well together. Use one dominant color and the others to enrich the scheme.</p>

It uses a color and the two colors adjacent to its complementary. This combination provides high contrast with less tension than the complementary color scheme.</p>

This color scheme offers strong visual contrast and looks more balanced and harmonious.</p>
