Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as opposite colors?
Yes, complementary colors are colors positioned directly opposite each other on the color wheel.
Should I always use complementary colors together?
They create strong contrast, which works well for accents but can be overwhelming as a dominant color scheme.
