Purple, yellow and orange make another split complement, which is the basis of this room's color scheme.It's important not to get too hung up on the letter of these design rules; it's better to think of them as guidelines. Good design starts with the basics like the color wheel, then plays around from there. In the photo above, what started as a split complement veered off into something else when the designer added red above the fireplace. The red draws attention to the architecture above the fireplace, and it works perfectly.

Three Isn't a Crowd. Using three colors in a room can look very harmonious and free flowing when you use colors with similar tonalities. In this space, each color is soft and slightly muted. Each hue also brings out the room's amazing architecture.

What a fun space! The periwinkle fireplace is the focal point of this room, and the orange walls really set it off. The chair and ottoman bring pale lime into the mix.

This red, yellow and orange piece steals the scene against a series of walls in the same colors.

The true red ocher is that strip right above the mantel that looks almost brown, but these fall-friendly ochers are all in the same family and look great together.

this is also a example of split complements!! combing diferent color, to make something look good

I have something similar in my bedroom...

This started as a split complement color scheme with orange, yellow, and purple, however, it changed when the designer added the red above the fireplace. This demonstrates how the color wheel is a guideline, not a rule.

This is an example of split complements is a intersting variation of the triad for example green is the opposite of red but if you veer right or left you get orange or purple

All the colors are brown and red that matches with the fire in the firelace.

Love the color scheme

An interesting variation of the triad is the split complement. Put simply, a split complement takes a position on the color wheel, in this case green. Directly opposite green on the wheel is red. But if we veer to the right and to the left of green we get orange and purple. Green, orange and purple are a split complement.

The true red ocher is that strip right above the mantel that looks almost brown, but these fall-friendly ochers are all in the same family and look great together. Already told you my comments about this but I love the ocher red color above the fireplace for your main living area accent wall.
