Triad Colour Scheme - The Beatles album, Yellow Submarine combines blue, red, and yellow hues perfectly to create the scheme. The highly saturaded yellow and red of the submarine stand out perfectly against the gradual tint of the less saturated blue background.
Analogous Colour Scheme - Three variations of hues in the sunflower create an analogous scheme of colours beside each other on the wheel. The sunflowers have low saturation of colour and good contrast between the dark shade of the middle and the tint of the petals.
Complementary Colour Scheme - The complementary colours of the poison dart frog against the green hue of leaves, act as a warning to its potential predators. The frog contrasts against the leaves with the highly saturated colour of its skin.
Monochromatic Colour Scheme - Another Beatles album cover, Revolver, uses elements of hand drawing and picture editing to create a monochromatic scheme. The different shades and tints of the faces are effective here because of good use of proximity. The plain white background also creates a good sense of contrast against the shaded drawn eyes.
