Complimentary colors are colors that are directly opposite to each other. such as red and green, yellow and violet, orange and blue. These are colors that give the most intense contrast. So any colors that are contrasting make up a complimentary color scheme. You can mix these colors to get beautiful "go together" colors. Take red and green, for example. You can lighten red to make a shade of pink and then contrast it with a shade of green that can be dark, light or anywhere in between.
