The split-complementary color scheme involves one base color and two secondary colors adjacent to its complement. It offers strong visual contrast in fashion photography with less tension than a standard complementary scheme.

Hue refers to the pure spectrum colors commonly referred to by the 'color names' — red, orange, yellow, blue, green, etc. In fashion photography, hue can set the mood of the photograph and influence the viewer's emotional response to an image.

A monochromatic color scheme uses variations in lightness and saturation of a single color. This approach in fashion photography can lead to elegant and cohesive images that are visually relaxing.

Tertiary colors are created by mixing a primary color with a secondary color, resulting in more complex hues. Fashion photography can use these colors to add depth and complexity to images, often assisting storytelling.

Saturation refers to the intensity or purity of a color. High saturation colors in fashion photographs can appear bold and vivid, while desaturated colors can convey sophistication and subtlety.

Cool colors, such as blue, green, and purple, are reminiscent of water and sky. They can be used in fashion photography to create a calm, soothing, and professional look.

The color wheel is a visual representation of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship. Fashion photographers use the color wheel to combine clothing and backgrounds in complementary or analogous color schemes for visual harmony.

Complementary colors are directly opposite each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange. In fashion photography, using complementary colors can create dynamic and visually engaging images with strong contrast.

Color harmony is achieved when colors in a photo create a pleasing or aesthetically engaging composition. Fashion photographers strive for color harmony to make the images compelling and to highlight certain elements, like clothing or mood.

Analogous colors are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Using analogous colors in fashion photography can produce a serene and comfortable atmosphere, often utilizing a monochromatic or limited color palette.

Warm colors, like red, orange, and yellow, are associated with warmth and sunlight. In fashion photography, using warm colors can convey energy, excitement, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Triadic color schemes involve three colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel, such as red, yellow, and blue. Fashion photography utilizing a triadic scheme can be vibrant and harmonious, but requires careful balancing to avoid clashing.

Secondary colors (green, orange, purple) are created by mixing two primary colors. They offer more options for style variation and mood setting in fashion photography.

Primary colors (red, blue, yellow) are the foundation of all other colors and cannot be created by mixing other hues. In fashion photography, these colors can be used to create bold statements and draw attention to subjects.
