Complementary colours

Complementary colours sit across from each other on the colour wheel.

These are often referred to as opposite colours and even contrasting colours. Don’t be confused by the three different names, they all mean the same thing.

When complementary colours are placed next to each other, a very strong contrast is created. The colours appear more vivid and brighter. Some people say these colours clash when used next to each other and create very visually stimulating artwork. The complementary colours are:

• Green and red
• Orange and blue
• Yellow and purple
• Yellow-green and red-purple
• Yellow-orange and blue-purple
• Red-orange and blue-green

Try using your compliments in your shadows ..

Have a wonderful week, and don’t forget to appreciate the odd compliment…
