* Adjacent or harmonizing colors seem they are next to each other on the
color wheel. Harmonizing colors often work well together but if too close
in value they can appear washed out or not have enough contrast.

* Complementary colors are separated by another color on the color wheel.
Complementary colors printed side by side can cause visual vibration
making them a less than desirable combination. However, separate them on
the page with other colors and they can work together.

* Clashing or contrasting colors are directly opposite each other on the
color wheel. Despite the name, colors that clash are not always a bad
combination if used carefully. They provide great contrast and high
visibility.
