We can choose a monochromatic color scheme, where we use tints, tones and shades of a single basic color. Polychromatic, which is on the other end of the spectrum is a little bit of every color, and a lot of people do this technique just by fault. We can do analogous or harmonious colors, where we use colors that are adjacent or related to each other or we can use complementary or contrasting colors, colors which are opposite to each other such as red and green, violet and yellow and that creates a dominant focal feature. So those are primary color schemes.
