Color Temperature refers to the perceived warmth or coolness of a color. It plays a role in knitwear by influencing the mood of the piece and how it interacts with the wearer's skin tone.

Warm colors, like reds, oranges, and yellows, can bring energy and coziness to knitwear designs and are often used in fall and winter collections.

Split-complementary colors include a base color and the two colors adjacent to its complement. This scheme offers variety in knitwear design without the tension of a direct complement.

Triadic colors are evenly spaced around the color wheel and offer a diverse palette while maintaining balance in knitwear.

Value concerns the lightness or darkness of a color. In knitwear, value contrast can give a garment depth and visual interest.
