Color scheme that uses 3 colors located on a triangular position on the color wheel:

  1. Triadic

  2. Monochromatic

  3. Analogous

  4. Complementary

The correct answer is: Triadic

A triadic color scheme is defined as a color scheme that uses three colors which are equally spaced on the color wheel. This creates a strong, vibrant palette as the colors contrast with each other while still maintaining balance. Option B, monochromatic, uses varying shades and tints of a single color. Option C, analogous, uses colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Option D, complementary, uses colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. While these color schemes can also create stunning combinations, they do not follow the specific criteria of a triadic color scheme as described in the question.
