Best Answer

The colors of light (for photographic purposes):

  • BLUE (primary) and YELLOW (secondary) are complementary.
  • RED (primary) and CYAN (secondary) are complementary.
  • GREEN (primary) and MAGENTA (secondary) are complementary.

NOTE: complementary is not to be confused with complimentary.

Also, pick any of the above secondary colors. The one you chose is made up from combining the other two primaries. If that seems confusing, keep in mind that these combinations have nothing to do with pigments (e.g. paint, dyes, etc.). You have to imagine laying plastic/acetate filters of those two colors over top of one another and looking through them under lighting conditions that are close to daylight in color temperature.

In case it is not clear, the first point answers the question. Yellow is the complementary color of blue.

blue Actually its purple. If you look at the color wheel for primary colors it is always the color that is mixed by the other two primary colors. For example for red its green (blue and yellow) for blue its orange (red and yellow). So the complementary color for yellow is purple (red and blue).


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.
