To create an analogous color scheme, just use colors that are right next to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a dominant color, while the others are used to enrich the scheme. A warm analogous scheme would consist of colors such as red, red- orange, orange, orange-red, and red-violet. Any tint or shade of those colors would be acceptable. A cool analogous color scheme would consist of blue-violet, blue, blue-green, green, and any tints or shades of those colors.

This flower patterns uses analogous colors: the dominant blue background with two different hues of green for the flowers.
