 <p><b>Monochromatic:</b></p>
 <p>The monochromatic color scheme (as displayed above) is actually a combination of a base color and one dark and light variancy of the color. You cannot change the “angle,” as there is no geometrical relation between the colors.</p>

 <h4>Making Use of These Schemes</h4>
 <p>With so many schemes and variations in settings, obviously there is no automatic answer to choosing which is best for you. One way to learn is to look at advertisements, web pages, or other examples of pleasing design, and pay attention to their color schemes, noting which seem to work well, and which do not. There are good uses for similar colors and for contrasting colors, and most designs have each in various areas of the page.</p>
