ANALOGOUS
Analogous colours neighbour each other on the colour wheel (i.e. red / violet or yellow / lime green).
Since the colours don’t have the contrast and tension of the complementary colours, they create an overall harmonious and soothing viewing experience.
Analogous colours are easy to take advantage of in landscapes and exteriors as they are often found in nature.
One colour can be chosen to dominate, a second to support, and a third (along with blacks, whites and grey tones) to accent.
Examples:
Traffic (2000)
Children of Men (2006)
Tokyo Drifter (1966)
