It's a complicated answer. The following content is according to the wikipedia page linked:
1. According to color theory, mixing complementary colors produces a neutral color (white, black or gray).
2. According to afterimages based on the sensors in our eye, a complimentary color is the one that's left behind after we stop staring at a particular color for a long time.
3. In art, complementary colors produce brown or gray on combining.
Color Scheme
Complementary colors are pairs of colors that, when combined, cancel each other out, resulting in a grayscale color like white or black. In the traditional color wheel, complementary colors are located opposite each other; for example, blue is complementary to orange, red to green, and yellow to purple. When used together in design, they create high contrast and can make each color appear more vibrant. This principle is widely applied in art, design, and photography to enhance visual impact.
yellow or orange depending on the shade of blue
The Shell logo primarily uses two Pantone colors: Pantone 186 C for the red and Pantone 100 C for the yellow. These colors are integral to the brand's identity, with the vibrant red symbolizing energy and the yellow representing optimism. The precise use of these colors ensures consistent brand recognition across various media.
The complementary color of burgundy, a dark red hue, is typically a shade of green. Specifically, a vibrant or muted green can complement burgundy effectively, creating a striking contrast. This pairing can enhance the visual appeal in design and fashion contexts.
When two complementary colors are mixed, they neutralize each other and create a desaturated color like grey or brown. This is because the wavelengths of light of the two complementary colors cancel each other out when mixed together.
Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. When you mix two complementary colors you get brown. If you are painting a shadow you use the complement of the color the shadow falls on.
Complementary
no, blue and orange are complementary colors and red and green are complementary colors
Complementary colors do neutralize when combined. When you mix two colors across the color wheel they mix to make brown. It is difficult to determine which two complementary colors make up a very even brown.
Double complementary refers to two sets of colors that consist of complementary pairs. For example, red and green are complementary, as are blue and orange. In a double complementary color scheme, both sets of complementary colors are used together in a design for visual contrast and harmony.
Complementary colors are colors that make one another look good. For example, red looks good with green. When used together, they create a better piece of art. On the other hand, orange and blue are non-complementary colors. If they are used together, they do not look as good as the complementary colors.
Two colours are complementary if lights of those colours add to make pure white light. Complementary colours are not the same as complementary pigments (or paints).
Complementary colors are pairs of colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange. Split complementary colors involve one base color and the two colors adjacent to its complementary color, creating a triadic scheme that offers more variety and harmony. While complementary colors create strong contrast, split complementary colors provide a balanced yet dynamic contrast, allowing for more nuanced color palettes in design and art. Both schemes enhance visual interest but do so in different ways.
When two complementary colors are mixed together, they create a neutral color (such as gray or brown) depending on the proportions of each color used. This is because complementary colors cancel each other out and when mixed, they result in a desaturated color.
When you mix two complementary colors, you get a shade of brown. Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel and when mixed together they tend to neutralize each other, resulting in a muted brown color.
Opposite colors are actually complementary colors.These are the pair of colors which are of opposite hue in the color model.According to the color theory. Two colors are said to be complementary if they produce a neutral color such as black, white or grey.
