Help with choosing complementary colours

[Matcro]

I'm new to the pratical side of design - having previously worked in positions where I've paid people for graphic design, I now want to be able to do it myself, to a degree.

 

I remember seeing designers use the colour wheel (I think) on Photoshop to find colours which complement the colours in a logo and I'm wondering if Affinity Designer has a similar tool. For example, I have a two colour logo. Can I input the colour refs for these into Designer and have it suggest a palette which will work nicely with them?

 

Thank you in advance.

You could make up a custom Palette and use Chords.

 

Use the hamburger menu on the right of the swatches panel to create a new palette with just your two colours

Click on the little artists palette icon in the middle to move the colour to a swatch.

 

Right click on either swatch and Add Chord to Swatch.

 

You can choose from a bewildering display of choices to make up your new palette.

 

You can also double click on a colour well to get a larger display and set it to an HSL wheel

here’s an easy place to go, select your colour than click on mono or complement or triad etc.
