Ultra-marine blue is complementary to yellow. This is according to the CMY color wheel which follows the colors of the light. Scientists and artists who understand the concept of colors as found in nature all agree that the primary colors should be cyan (brightest blue ever like the sky), magenta (pink with very small blue that make the pink slightly purplish), and yellow (the brightest yellow ever). With these three colors, you can literrally make all the colors found in nature and on yourself. Also, when you put into the color wheel system, the true complementary colors of the CMY wheel actually look better together than on the regular blue-red-yellow color wheel. Google "true color wheel".

A Double-split complementary color scheme would be made up of?

Take one set of complementary colors; say blue and orange. For a single split-complementary you would use orange and the two colors adjacent to blue, but not blue (green-blue and violet-blue). To make a double split-complementary use the four colors adjacent to the original complementary pair. The colors you would use are green-blue, violet-blue, yellow-orange, and red-orange. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS A TETRADIC COLOR SCHEME WHICH USES TWO SETS OF COMPLEMENTARY COLORS.
