What is a Complimentary Colour Scheme?

This particular colour scheme draws from two colours on the opposite side of the colour wheel. When you do this, the result is a high-contrast colour combination that’s bright and that pops with colour.

Examples of complementary colour combinations are: Red and green; yellow and purple; orange and blue; green and magenta. Complementary colour combos tend to be bold, which is why sports teams often use this formula for their colours.
