FSO - Complementary Colours

 I discovered there is even a dictionary entry (Collins) for complementary colours - one of any pair of colours, such as yellow and blue, that give white or grey when mixed in the correct proportions.  I was going to do the mad scientist thing and get out the grandkids painting set, but can't find it.

Our FSO guides tell us:
 "When placed next to each other, 
complementary colors make each other appear brighter
 by creating maximum contrast.
In art and graphic design, 
using two complementary colors together
is said to create a more aesthetically pleasing image.



 

 

I hope Georgia doesn't see that last one or she might guess what I am making her for her upcoming birthday. Yes, I have some sewing to do right now.

I'll be back later to check the entries from the rest of the FSO team.
