Complementary Colours

April 25th, 2006 Leave a comment Go to comments

Colours that are diametrically opposed in the colour wheel. Red and green, blue and orange, and yellow and violet are complementary colours.

When complementary colours are placed together they make each other look more vibrant, but when mixed together they create soft neutrals.
