Apply the 60 - 30 - 10 rule for success

You should not use equal amounts of the three colors. An old designer's rule is to divide the colors into percentages of 60, 30, and 10.

60 - 30 - 10 balance

The primary color should cover about 60% of the space and create the overall unifying theme of the design. Then add about 30% of the secondary color to create contrast and visual interest. Finally use about 10% of the accent color to provide that final touch of elegance.

A good example of this distribution of color is a man's business suit: 60% of the outfit is made up of the slacks and jacket. The shirt represents 30%, and the tie 10%.
