| Picture Right – Split Complementary Color Combination |
 |
Complementary (contrasting) – these are colors that are directly opposite. When they are mixed together, they will produce grey. Using this combination enhances each color creating a strong sense of visual movement when the colors are side by side.
Split Complementary – select one color, then use one color
either side of its complementary color. This often provides
a more pleasing color scheme than a true
complementary.
