Square color schemes are a unique and fun way to add interest to graphic design. Combining red, yellow, and blue or cyan, magenta, and green can create dynamic color palettes that aren&#8217;t boring like many traditional color schemes. But how do you use square color schemes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-dcqm1r eplus-wrapper\">In this blog, we&#8217;ll tell you everything you need to know about squares schemes, so let&#8217;s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button-group stk-block-button-group stk-block stk-7dc012d\" data-block-id=\"7dc012d\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks has-text-align-center stk-block-content stk-button-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button stk-block stk-f7d6bcd\" data-block-id=\"f7d6bcd\"><style>.stk-f7d6bcd .stk-button{background:#fcb900 !important;border-top-left-radius:7px !important;border-top-right-radius:7px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:7px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:7px !important}.stk-f7d6bcd .stk-button__inner-text{font-size:20px !important;color:#000000 !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-f7d6bcd .stk-button__inner-text{font-size:20px !important}}<\/style><a class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"https:\/\/simplified.com\/color-palette-generator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-text-color has-black-color stk-button__inner-text\"><strong>Generate Stunning Color Palettes in seconds<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" eplus-euCNTG wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-what-is-a-square-color-scheme\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_A_Square_Color_Scheme\"><\/span><strong>What Is A Square Color Scheme?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-Md0Z5G eplus-wrapper\">A square color scheme is based on the principle of using evenly spaced colors. In addition, you choose the color palette of this scheme type based on the position of the color wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-Q79cda eplus-wrapper\">If you decide to include red in your square color scheme, then the other colors that will be part of your scheme are blue-violet , green, and <a href=\"https:\/\/simplified.com\/color-palette-generator\/yellow-orange-combination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">yellow-orange<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-92NOZO eplus-wrapper\">But this is not all. You can create your own square color schemes regardless of which main color you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-Q6kkcL\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/square-color-scheme-1-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=1024&amp;w=926\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18705\" style=\"width:400px;height:400px\" title=\"square color scheme\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colorsexplained.com\/square-colors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Colors Explained<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-x22wdf eplus-wrapper\">In addition to the square color scheme, there is something similar called a rectangular color scheme. A rectangular color scheme is the richest of all available color schemes because it gives you the most variety. But remember: creating such a scheme isn&#8217;t easy, and if you don&#8217;t choose the right proportions, the results can be unsightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-KEritv\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/square-color-scheme-color-wheel-2-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=1024&amp;w=970\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18706\" style=\"width:400px;height:400px\" title=\"square color scheme color wheel\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Souce: <a href=\"http:\/\/colorharrmonies.blogspot.com\/2015\/01\/color-harmonies-in-photography.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Color Harmonies<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" eplus-Lop9jV wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-how-to-create-a-square-color-palette\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Create_A_Square_Color_Palette\"><\/span><strong>How To Create A Square Color Palette?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-2KWVGj eplus-wrapper\">To create a square color palette, choose your favorite color. Then you can identify the other colors that are at an equal distance from that color. You have to count three spaces clockwise or counter-clockwise on the color wheel to find the next color for your palette, to which you will end up with two pairs of complementary colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-yrTv6j eplus-wrapper\">However, if you&#8217;re using a more complex color wheel than the traditional one, which has 12 colors, you&#8217;ll need to use software so you can create a visually aesthetic and appealing design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" eplus-4vxDzG wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-how-to-create-a-rectangular-color-palette\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Create_a_Rectangular_Color_Palette\"><\/span><strong>How to Create a Rectangular Color Palette<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-PGxnC9 eplus-wrapper\">Similar to creating the square color palette, you can choose a color you would like to appear in your color palette and simply count two spaces on the color wheel in either direction. The other two colors should be just opposite on the color wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-LpH2XL eplus-wrapper\">In addition, you should be careful when using rectangular colors because they tend to be overwhelming. This comes from their vibrancy and expressivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-4mGBSi\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/tetradic-color-swatch_resized-3-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=793&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18707\" style=\"width:768px;height:595px\" title=\"tetradic colors\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.color-meanings.com\/rectangular-tetradic-color-schemes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Color meanings<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" eplus-THfQNF wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-colors-scheme-examples\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Colors_Scheme_Examples\"><\/span><strong>Colors Scheme Examples<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-VAycQx eplus-wrapper\">Now that we covered the basics, let&#8217;s see some color scheme examples in which square and rectangular schemes have been implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" eplus-Ykxybe wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-square-color-harmony\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Square_Color_Harmony\"><\/span><strong>Square Color Harmony<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-mShWVN\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/square-color-scheme-example_resized-4-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=937&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18708\" style=\"width:400px;height:400px\" title=\"square color harmony\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/430797520614015301\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-VUGAeF\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/square-color-example-design-5-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=446&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18709\" style=\"width:710px;height:400px\" title=\"square color example design\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturephotographers.net\/articles0113\/ab0113-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Nature Photographers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" eplus-qmnxxw wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-rectangular-color-harmony\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rectangular_Color_Harmony\"><\/span><strong>Rectangular Color Harmony<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-ywBqHd\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/rectangilar-color-harmony_resized-6-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=577&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18710\" style=\"width:710px;height:400px\" title=\"rectangular color harmony\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tubikstudio.com\/color-theory-brief-guide-for-designers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tubik Studio<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-4dYLyV\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/square-color-harmony-example-7-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=455&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18711\" style=\"width:710px;height:400px\" title=\"square color harmony example\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturephotographers.net\/articles0113\/ab0113-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Nature Photographers<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-ckC7KO eplus-wrapper\">Color theory is not an easy concept to grasp and digest so quickly.

If you make your darkest color dominant, it&#8217;ll be easier to choose lighter ones that match. You can also arrange your colors starting from the bottom &#8211; the lowest part of your image should be the darkest, and the highest should be the brightest. For example, if you have to design a room, the floor will be the darkest color and the ceiling the lightest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" eplus-jKvBv2 wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-combine-with-black\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combine_with_black\"><\/span><strong>Combine with black<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-teY1PC eplus-wrapper\">A modern way you can make use of a square color scheme is by combining it with black. Therefore, your dominant color will be black and the four colors that you choose for your palette will act as accent colors. For example, this can be used in decorating modern bedrooms or kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" eplus-SHX7Nx wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-combine-with-white\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combine_with_white\"><\/span><strong>Combine with white<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-jiTCxe eplus-wrapper\">This is the opposite of what you just read above. You can also combine your square color scheme with <a href=\"https:\/\/simplified.com\/color-palette-generator\/white-color-combination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">white<\/a>. Now, you have chosen white as your dominant color, and the square palette is giving your design vibrancy and life. If you happen to be an interior designer, this is a nice way to decorate a small room so it looks bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-wWf31h\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/combine-with-white-color-harmony_resized-8-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=793&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18712\" style=\"width:710px;height:400px\" title=\"combine with white color harmony\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" eplus-qAhRtv wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-follow-the-60-30-10-rule\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Follow_the_60-30-10_rule\"><\/span><strong>Follow the 60-30-10 rule<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-tCIpqe eplus-wrapper\">If you&#8217;re new to interior design, this rule is one that you need to remember. It is a classic rule of thumb that helps you balance your <a href=\"https:\/\/simplified.com\/color-palettes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">color palette<\/a>. You need to make sure that 60% of your decorating space is the dominant color, 30% should be the secondary color and 10% should be an accent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-PxXQAu eplus-wrapper\">If you&#8217;re still unsure what this means, here&#8217;s an example of how that can be used:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image  eplus-bZl0AB\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/60-30-10-rule-color-harmony_resized-9-1.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=793&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18713\" style=\"width:710px;height:400px\" title=\"10 rule color harmony\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homesandgardens.com\/advice\/60-30-10-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Homes and Gardens<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" eplus-txjzE3 wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-to-wrap-things-up\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Wrap_Things_Up\"><\/span><strong>To Wrap Things Up<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-WAfV6Z eplus-wrapper\">The square color scheme is a simple and effective design layout.
