Split-complimentary color schemes

This is homework from my color theory class - we’re getting into advanced stuff.

Split-complimentary is three colors next to each other on the color wheel, and the complement of the middle color.

I started with the colors in the large chart, but I needed a real dark and I didn’t like the neutral I could mix.

I then did a few of the other combos and decided on the one at the lower right. The idea is to set a color theme for the painting that uses only these colors - deciding ahead of time which one you want the dominant color, the secondary etc

It’s hard to figure out but looking forward to the challenge.
