a color directly opposite another on a color wheel and providing the greatest chromatic contrast to it
within light, two colors that combine to form white light
Red, Blue, and Yellow are the primary colors. A complimentary color is obtained when you mix a primary color with any other combination of opposite colors.
A primary color whose placement opposite the secondary color produced by the other two primaries on the color circle makes it seem brighter or stronger. For example, red strengthens green, blue strengthens orange, and yellow strengthens violet.
a color that is directly opposite another on the color wheel, such as yellow and purple, blue and orange, red and green. When mixed together, two complementary colors yield a brown or gray color.
The opposite color or hue on a color wheel. For example green is opposite magenta, red is opposite cyan, and blue is opposite yellow on the color wheel.
Color that is minus one of the primary colors. Cyan is minus red-cyan and red are complementary colors; yellow is minus blue-yellow and blue are complementary colors; magenta is minus green-magenta and green are complementary colors. Produces white when mixed in equal parts with the primary color to which it is complementary.
Opposite hue and phase angle from a primary color. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are complementary colors for red, green, and blue, respectively.
A complementary color is one of a pair of primary or secondary colors that are in opposition to each other on a color wheel. For pigmented colors, like paint, complementary color pairs include: orange opposed to blue, green opposed to red, and violet opposed to yellow. For the colors of light, complementary colors include: blue opposed to yellow, green opposed to magenta, and red opposed to cyan.
color of light which, when combined with another specified color in the correct proportions, will form gray or white.
The inverted hue of a color (the one that is diametrically opposite on a color wheel). For example, yellow is the complementary color of blue.
Complementary colors are pairs of colors that are in some way opposites of each other.
