If you display a text with its complementary color on a background with the displayed color, you will get a representation that is pleasant to the eyes and clearly too indistinguishable from each other. However, this is especially true for white, black and gray tones. With these, the contrasting colors are particularly natural, pleasant and common for our eyes.

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 #DCB240 shade matches the following richer shades: #DCB241 and #EEBA2F

An example is the development from a pale pink to a strong and bright red.

Less saturated colors are created by reducing the saturation, which makes the colors more muted, subtle and pastel-like.

The following paler shades match the #DCB240 shade: #DCB241, #CAAA53, #B7A165, #A59977 and #939189

The following split-complementary shades match the #DCB240 shade: #DCB240, #4EDC41 and #7241DC

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 #DCB240 shade: #DCB240, #41DCB0 and #B041DC

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