Monochromatic Colors

When delving into color schemes we can find an endless supply of creativity. This realm holds the possibility to create hundreds of different color pallets all with varying intensities.

Monochromatic color schemes are the raw colors as they only refer to a single hue. This can be green, blue, orange, aqua, or whatever fits best into your design. These are commonly seen with branding and background patterns to fit into an existing pallet.
In this reference colors are usually created by dimming opacity between each color (or hue) and a background. The most common example is creating an alpha channel and adding more white/black into a selected hue at varying degrees. Through this method you are able to design a useful monochromatic color scheme to blend into simple digital graphics.
