Complimentary colors are opposite one another on the wheel....red and green are complimentary colors, blue and orange are complimentary colors, and yellow and purples are complimentary. when colors are close to one another they are harmonious.

The three primary colors are divided by secondary, or complimentary colors. Then there are tertiary and supplimental colors.

Colors next to each other (on a full color wheel) are usually called complimentary colors.
