Complementary Colors

What are Complementary Colors?Colors which lie directly across from each other on the color wheel.
Also called Color Dyads, since they’re in pairs.

Every color has a complement.Complementary Colors can complement, enhance and balance each other. They produce the highest color contrast (after Black & White). Their INTENSITY is heightened when paired alongside each other.

Complementary Colors can also neutralize or cancel each other out. When mixed together, their original INTENSITY is suppressed, leading us to
Chromatic Neutral Grays…

Principle 1:LIGHT/DARK CONTRAST

Principle 3COMPLEMENTARY REACTION/EFFECT

Principle 3:COMPLEMENTARY REACTION
OR EFFECT
Our eye “seeks” the complement of any given color. For example, you’re staring at a red stop sign for a long period of
time…your RGB photoreceptors grow tired, namely the R-receptor. Therefore, G-receptor comes to the rescue and
“appears” to give the R-receptor a break.
