Opposite colors on the color wheel. Such as red is opposite of green...meaning they are complementary. Blue and Orange. Yellow and Purple. And the all the colors in between like blue-green is completmentary to red-orange
all complementary colors are directly across from each other. Example: Purple---- Yellow or Blue--- Orange
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 colors are colors opposite each other on the color wheel
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.
red and green
no, blue and orange are complementary colors and red and green are complementary colors
all complementary colors are directly across from each other. Example: Purple---- Yellow or Blue--- Orange
Those garish colors are not very complementary.

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.
colors that you cant mix
No, Primary Colours.
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 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.
I find it interesting that complementary colors don't always look pleasing together, and a fashion-oriented person would probably not pick complementary colors for clothing. However, I believe the most effective use of complementary colors is to add interest to a painting, and usually to a particular part of the painting. When complementary colors are placed next to each other it creates a point of interest in the viewer's eye; the clever painter can take advantage of this phenomenon and "guide" the viewer simply by creative use of complementary colors on the painting.
