Richer colors are created by increasing the saturation, which makes the colors appear more intense, brighter and stronger. A color with high saturation is more eye-catching and appears more vibrant and powerful. This effect can be used to emphasize important elements or to create a vibrant design.

The following split-complementary shades match the #BDB83B shade: #BDB83B, #3BBD4F and #833BBD

This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but is not as contrasting as the direct complementary color. The partial complementary color scheme is a good choice for designs. These colors usually complement each other very well.

A triadic color scheme uses colors evenly spaced around the color wheel. Triadic color harmonies are usually quite vivid, even if pale or unsaturated colors are used.

The following triaden shades match the #BDB83B shade: #BDB83B, #3BBDB7 and #B73BBD

The colors should be well chosen to achieve triadic harmony. Let one color dominate and use the other two as accent colors.
