Color scheme that uses 3 colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel:

  1. Analogous

  2. Triadic

  3. Monochromatic

  4. Complementary

The correct answer is: Analogous

Analogous is the correct answer because it refers to a color scheme that uses three colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. This means that the colors are located next to each other and share similar qualities, resulting in a harmonious and visually pleasing combination. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Triadic refers to a color scheme that uses three colors that are evenly spaced on the color wheel, resulting in a more vibrant and energetic combination. Monochromatic refers to a color scheme that uses varying shades and tints of a single color, creating a subtle and cohesive look. Complementary refers to a color scheme that uses colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel, providing a high contrast and dynamic combination. These options are not considered analogous since they do not involve colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel.
