Triadic colour scheme

A triadic color scheme comprises of three colours that are evenly spaced on the colour wheel. The most basic triadic colour scheme palettes are the primary colours red, yellow and blue and the secondary colours orange, green and purple. When you use triadic colors in equal portions, the result is a wonderful child-like appeal. Typically, one color is dominant while the others are accented. They give a vibrant feel even if the hues are saturated. Triadic is one of the least used colour scheme in films as it is quite difficult to use it and can be quite striking.
