The hues are opposite each other in the color wheel. And they supposed to complement which makes it easier when three colors are included. Combining complementary colors should not be between two dark colors, vivid colors or dull colors. Only light and light can mix well.
Some light and light color coordination:
Try coordinating different shades with each other. Light and vivid color coordination:
Dark and dull color coordination complements well:
Interestingly, dark and vivid color matching is not uniform in its harmony. It seems that coordination between dark blue, purple, and magenta hues against vivid looks better. The dark colors of red, orange, and green hues can create a nice combination against the vivid colors. Some examples of the nicer complementary hues color coordination between dark and vivid colors:
Three color coordination involves two complementary colors and one in between color the two. To coordinate three colors of contrasting hues have a tendency to be skewed toward a certain hue. So it is best to balance one of the complementary hues with a light or dark shade.
Personally, I feel that complementary hues color coordination is the most difficult of all even though the word "complementary" makes it sounds easy. The best way to master coordination well is trying many ways to have a real feel of the color flow and rhythm.
