btw i fucking hate complimentary colours.* no it is not ""science"" or ""colour psychology"" that they compliment and look good together, it is not a """fact"""! No!! They Look Horrific Together Actually! Like they are actually anti-complimentary, like the worst possible colours you could put together!! "complementary colours" my ass they should be called "warning never pair together colours"!!!
#*i should elaborate as to not get infamous Tumblrsplainers.#red and green actually look ok together but are sort of overused#and the specific shades they present on the colour wheel、the most legitimate form of the compliments、aren't the greatest pairing of the two#but still ok#but ORANGE AND BLUE??#YELLOW AND VIOLET ??!?!?!?!!#HO O R R I F F I C#ESPECIALLY the “trye purest actual form” of the compliments they show on the colour wheel#that dark computer dead screen blue with the bright neon orange? actually an eyeore#the bright solid yellow with the deep rich cool-toned violet??! i actually want to throw up#you can make orange and blue look good together!! but you got to tweak both of them to the point that they aren't EXACT opposites anymore#like a darkish rust-orange the colour of canyon rocks and a deep teal the colour of a river? that's good. but aren't EXACT compliments anym#a pastel lavender and pale butter-yellow? that can look cute. but not exact compliments#and there are some exact compliments (in the sense that they are exact compliments) that DO look good together#but they aren't primary or secondary colours they are just some random number colour on the wheel#but you can't do that for art classes#like hex 11AAEF and hex FE5102 look nice#it's sort of like nintendo switch colours#but even though its some variation of blue and orange and they are just both slightly “too the left” or whatever#your mind rounds them to “blue and red”#which are not complimentary#so any art teacher wouldn't allow it#grejaknwkswneodjfor#unityrain.txt#art#color theory
