Complementary Color
The wheel is a useful tool to visualize how colors relate to each other - it's a circle where similar hues are neighbors and different hues are farther apart. When two colors are opposite each other on the wheel, they are called complementary colors. They have the characteristic that if they are combined, they "cancel" each other out and create a gray colour. However, when placed side-by-side, these colors appear more vibrant and produce a strong visual contrast.
example:
red (#FF0000) and cyan (#00FFFF)
green (#00FF00) and magenta (#FF00FF)blue (#0000FF) and yellow (#FFFF00)
