Tetrad Color Scheme

What is a tetrad color scheme?

A tetrad color scheme uses four colors arranged in two complementary pairs on the color wheel. There are two types: square tetrad (four colors evenly spaced 90 degrees apart) and rectangular tetrad (two pairs of complementary colors). These schemes offer rich color variety while maintaining harmony, making them ideal for complex designs that need both contrast and balance.
