Color combinations in German are used to describe how different colors relate to each other, whether they complement, contrast, or blend together. This vocabulary is especially useful in fashion, design, art, and everyday descriptions.
- Complementary colors (Komplementärfarben) are opposite each other on the color wheel and create a strong contrast.
- Analogous colors (analoge Farben) are next to each other on the color wheel and provide a harmonious look.
- Neutral colors (Neutrale Farben) like black, white, and gray can be combined with any color.
- Common German terms for color combinations include:
- Farbkombination: color combination
- Farbton: hue
- Kontrastfarben: contrasting colors
Komplementärfarben are complementary colors.
