Kristy,

Make sure you understand the meaning of the words, complementary, static, and harmonious before you draw any conclusions.

Answer 1

Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, such as red and green, blue and orange, and yellow and purple. Static means that the colors will remain the same and not change. Harmonious means that the colors will be pleasing to the eye and create a sense of balance. To balance complementary colors so that they appear static and harmonious, it is important to use the right proportions of each color and to use shades and tints of the colors to create a sense of depth and texture.
