Some colors go well together and others do not. When they go well together, we say they complement each other.
To find computer color information including complementing triads, go to http://serennu.com/colour/colourcalculator.php/. For any color you click on, you will be given two other colors that complement it.
In computer coding, each color is represented by a 6-character hexadecimal code. The 3 colors here can be represented thusly:
-
-
- Red: #e333719
- Green: #193337
- Blue: #3719e3
-
When you use one of those three colors on a computer screen, the other two will complement them.
