Avoid combining vivid colors with similar vivid colors. The combination can be kind of harsh.
4. Light color + Light color + Dull/Vivid color = Fantastic harmony
5. Dark color + Dull color + Dull color = Autumn feel
Avoid working with three vivid colors because of their ability to overwhelm each other and give a confusing illusion.
Instead separate two vivid colors with one light color would be a better harmonious blend.
