A LESSON IN COLOR MIXING PART 4

Today's Lesson on Color Mixing will focus on Color Harmonies, colors that go together. These color harmonies include, Complementary, Triadic Harmony, and Split Complementary.

The first of the color harmonies, Complementary Colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel as shown below. The chart below the color wheel shows how the colors complement each other.





Learning how colors can complement one another is so important in every day life and will help us in designing handmade crafts, fine arts, decorating, in our wardrobe, etc.

Next week I will be sharing with you  Triadic Color Harmonies and how they complement each other.

  1. THAT was way technical and brainy but you dumbed it down pretty well for me; thanks :D (somehow I have a feeling there`s more to it than you`re daring to overload us with all at once though!)
