Color-usage page showing four approved three-color schemes as horizontal banded swatches pairing a neutral with saturated tones.
Summary
A color-scheme page presenting four sanctioned three-color combinations, each shown as a rounded block split into vertical bands that pair a grounding neutral (wheat) with deeper saturated tones.
Visual description
Off-white background. Left rail holds the serif display title "Color Schemes" and two short sans-serif paragraphs noting each set pairs a grounding neutral with a deeper or more saturated tone. The right two-thirds is a 2x2 grid of rounded rectangles, each divided into three vertical color bands: maroon/wheat/red, wheat/teal/green, light-blue/wheat/blue, and brown/wheat/gold. The wheat neutral recurs in every scheme as the connective tone.
Key takeaway
Building each scheme around a shared neutral that mediates between two stronger colors, the recurring wheat band gives four otherwise different combinations a family resemblance and a built-in resting point.
Reuse notes
Use to predefine ready-made multi-color combinations so applications do not improvise. The banded three-tone block is a clear way to show proportion and adjacency. Anchoring every scheme on one neutral keeps the system cohesive.
