quick! what colors contrast well with red?

Answer 1

Cool blues provide contrast and tone down the heat of red. Light pinks and yellows are harmonizing colors that can work well with red if not too close in value such as dark red with a pale or golden yellow. Be careful using purple. It can be an elegant combination but too much could be overpowering.

Answer 3

The opposite color on the color wheel offers most contrast....RED's opposite is GREEN!

This concept is one of the first things you learn in Art and Design school.

"Complementary colors are any two colors which are directly opposite each other, such as red and green and red-purple and yellow-green. In the illustration above, there are several variations of yellow-green in the leaves and several variations of red-purple in the orchid. These opposing colors create maximum contrast and maximum stability."

Black, Gold, Light Blues, Tan, Yellow, Peach, White, natural compliment= Green, dark forest greens will look the best rather than bright greens.
