I'm doing an art project and I need to know colors and their complimenting colors.

For example:
Purple and Yellow

PLEASE list the colors and their complimenting colors.

the three primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. red's complimentary or opposite color is green, a combination of yellow and green. blue's opposite color is orange, a combination of yellow and red, and yellow's opposite color is purple, a combo of blue and red.

----------Blue----------
Green----------Purple
--------------------------
Yellow------------Red
---------Orange-------

This is a pretty bad example of a color wheel, but it should illustrate the basic idea i'm talking about.

Sage is a good color for brown, Celery (light green) those are the two colors I would recommend. Add throw pillow with the same color.

If you make a color wheel, the color directly opposite is it's compliment.

Purple/Yellow
Green/Red
Blue/Orange

And then you have your tertiary colors that you can match up too.
