I love colors and projects that successfully make use of these combinations!
In case you need a mini-refresher:
Color: the sensation resulting from reflection or absorption of light by a surface. Hue is another name for color.
Primary: hues from which all other colors can be made: red, yellow, blue. Secondary colors are made from mixing equal parts of the Primary colors: orange, green, violet.

Analogous: One of the most acceptable and popular color combinations, and analogous color harmony technically includes one primary or secondary color with adjacent (side by side) colors on the color wheel.
Complementary: A complementary color harmony is a combination of any two colors which lie directly across from each other on the color wheel.
Triad: A color triad is achieved by using any three colors equidistant on the color wheel.
Split Complement: A split complement is formed by combining a hue on one side of the color wheel with the color on each side of its direct complement.
