Complementary colors refer to the two colors that are positioned opposite each other on the color wheel. One of the main charms of these colors lies in their ability to make each other stand out and create a strong visual contrast when used together. While the specific complementary color pairs may vary depending on the color wheel or model being used, let's illustrate with the example of the classic or the most widely-used color wheel devised by Sir Isaac Newton. The primary complementary colors on this wheel are:
Red and green
Blue and orange
Yellow and purple
