How the harmony works

Dark Violet Harmony Guide

Dark Violet harmonies are computed from hue relationships rather than subjective palette names. Complementary colors create direct contrast, analogous colors stay close to the source hue, triadic and tetradic groups add broader palette range, split-complementary colors soften contrast, and monochromatic variants keep the same hue for UI surfaces and states.
