How do I use an analogous color scheme?

Analogous Scheme

When you use three colors next to each other on the color wheel with a family resemblence (orange, red-orange and red, for example), you are using an analogous color scheme. Try using the orange through red scheme on a color wheel on green paper or background for a high contrast effect.
