Learning New Things (Colour)............

Colour Theory Part 5...........

This post will be on the third colour scheme which is complementary and split-complementary colours, if you want to find out about the other colour schemes posted on this blog please refer to the previous posts.

Complementary colours are pairs of colours that are opposite to each other on the colour wheel, these colours usually work well together as a colour scheme, meaning they help each other to stand out.
For example: Red and green, orange and blue also purple and yellow









Split complementary colours are a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement.
This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.
for example:red-purple and red orange and green also yellow-orange and yellow and blue
