Two colours that look amazing together in a painting without any other colours. Not very bright though.

Hey Jasmine,
In color science, two colors are called complementary if, when mixed they produce a shade of grey (including white, or even black in a subtractive system). In most perceptual color models, white is towards the center of the color space, and complementary colors will lie roughly opposite each other. The clearest example is the HSV color space, in which complementary colors lie opposite each other on the wheel (or on any circular cross-section).
Unless you had a riddle in mind, there are many.
Red - Green
Yellow - Purple
Blue - Orange

I think you'll get as many different answers as there are colours. I think if you're painting something, the two colours should be ones that please you.

I like earthy colors. Tans, off whites, or earthy green, and tan. Well that's just me. Any earthy colors give a comforting feeling.

complementary colors are opposite from one another on the color wheel, hence:
orange--purple, etc etc
