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).
No, Primary Colours.
A split complementary color set is three colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, specifically the main color is on one side and the other two secondary colors are on another side so lines between the colors make an isoceles triangle.
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).
Black and/or white complement orange very well. In another sense complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. In that sense blue is the complementary color for orange. See link.
No, the complementary color of red is green not yellow because, when placed next to each other, complementary colors make each other appear brighter, more intense. The shadow of an object will also contain its complementary color. Ex.) the shadow of a green apple will contain some red. ......If you look at a color wheel you may understand this a little better
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

The most complementary colors for my skin tone are peachy pink and light blue.
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.
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 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.
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.
