Complementary Color Palette

A complementary color palette would be a range of colors consisting of colors that are opposite of each other on a color wheel (i.e. blue and orange).

 

 

Seen above, "Wall Drawing 853" is an acrylic painting by Sol LeWitt from 1998. It consists of three panels, with each panel consisting of two complementary colors placed side by side. To the left, green and red are placed together. In the middle panel, blue is seen above orange. All the way to the right, the complementary colors purple and yellow are juxtaposed.
