• Analogous - derived from variations of colours that are adjacent to
each other on the colour wheel, where the centre colour is the base
colour.
• Accented Analogous - as for Analogous but, as for Complementary,
also includes the colour opposite.
To create a colour scheme from scratch:
1. Select Colour Scheme Designer... from the Tools menu. The Colour
Scheme Designer opens, with the currently active scheme displayed
in the right-hand scheme list.
2. From the Colour Spread tab, choose a base colour on which the
scheme is to be built. Several methods are possible:
• Using the colour wheel: click in the outer ring of the colour
wheel to choose a colour hue, and then click inside the triangle to
adjust the saturation and tint. The new base colour is set in the
Base Colour swatch.
The base colour is the colour directly under the marker that sits
inside the colour wheel's triangle.
• Entering HSL or RGB values: use the sliders or input boxes to
specify a base colour exactly.
• Drag-and-drop: drag a colour from the Colour Scheme list onto
the colour wheel (or base colour swatch).
