1. Royal purple and Ice flow

Neutralize the powerful Royal Purple with the chilling Ice Flow. Purple is a color that’s regularly associated with royalty, ambition and power. Combining it with a grounded gray like Ice Flow creates a nice balance in a composition.

Any color named Ice Flow is bound to be somewhat arctic in its disposition and, true to its name, Ice Flow is cool and reserved. On its own it could easily be labeled a drab gray, but alongside Royal Purple it brings a lot more to the table.

You could say that the practicality of gray sets the foundation for purple to roam free and let its boundless imagination run wild, resulting in stunning creations.

2. Island green and white

The idyllic Island Green and white color combination is clean, crisp and highly flexible. When green is mixed with white, its positive connotations are brought to the fore. Examples of these are growth, renewal and environmental awareness.

Island Green is very down to earth and like most greens, it has an association with nature, which a pure white can also be seen to have. In some countries, dark green is seen to be a sign of wealth.

There is a real sense of color harmony when green and white are combined.

3. Pink salt and charcoal grey

Pink and gray are maybe not one of your classic color combinations, but they provide a striking contrast. The serious Charcoal Gray is imbued with new life by the vigorous Pink Salt. It’s a great example of how a youthful color can work wonders when combined with an evidently more mature one.

Pink is playful and leisurely, while gray is workmanlike and professional. A color like Charcoal Gray might be accused of being drab when seen alone, but when accompanied by Pink Salt it grows in stature.

A color such as Pink Salt instantly makes a color combination more approachable and enjoyable. It’s commonplace to feel more comfortable engaging with color combinations that are bright and welcoming, rather than those that are dull and uninspiring.

4. Black and Cherry tomato

Cherry Tomato has a beautifully intense red glow that radiates from the design. This powerful glow is highlighted by the inclusion of black.

Red and black have always made for a good combination and no matter what shade of red you use, it should comfortably fit in alongside black. There’s a ferocious, powerful vibe off this color combination, so it’s no surprise that the Targaryens of Game of Thrones use red and black as their colors.

If you plan on making a fiery design that shows you mean business, experiment with a color scheme such as red and black.

5. Mango mogito and terrarium moss.

Just like the drink that this color is named after, Mango Mojito is a delicious, pleasurable shade of yellow-gold. Terrarium Moss is an earthy, green-brown and, while you might not initially think these are two colors that go together, they do look great side by side.

Yellow and green are two colors that represent life and growth. We find renewed energy in this refreshing color combination. When mixed together, they make a luscious lime green shade. In addition to this, yellow and green are analogous on the color wheel.

A business could use these colors on their logo to highlight their environmental awareness, but also show that they are creative and cheerful.
