Split Complementary - tints

This window display uses a Split Complementary colour scheme.  A Split Complementary colour scheme means one colour and the two hues on either sides of the Complementary colour of the first.  In this case, pink and violet, are on either side of red-violet which is the complementary colour of the green hue also seen in the display.  This window has a warm, spring time sort of feel to it.
This display uses a Split Complementary colour scheme as well.  The tints of red-orange and yellow-orange are split complementary to the colour blue.  This display also feels quite warm and reminds me of sunsets on the beach.
