Review Assignment Goals: Color Studies Rubric
Yellow and Violet are Complementary Colors. Shades and tints of each color can also be included as part of a Complementary Color Scheme
COMPLEMENTARY COLORS are pairs of colors that sit directly across from each other on the color wheel (see color wheel left). Positioning a color next to its complement creates the most CONTRAST of COLOR.
The word complimentary (with an "i" instead of an "e") means something different - FLATTERING or FREE
Cover for All Star Westernby Jose Ladronn
The use of complementary colors is helpful for making things stand out because complementary colors create the MOST CONTRAST.
Artists also can use complementary colors to create a simple and unifying color scheme that is limited to the repetition of two colors.

Monochromatic color schemes are often used in graphic design. This Billie Holiday album cover above is an example of a Monochromatic Color Scheme with the use of violet, a tint of violet, and a shade of violet.
