	Complementary color - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Complementary colors are pairs of colors that are in some way opposites of each other.
		On the HSV color wheel opposite colors are complementary colors, that when mixed produce a shade of gray.
		The clearest example is the HSV color space, in which complementary colors lie opposite each other on the wheel (or on any circular cross-section).

	Color Context
		Complementary colors are pairs of colors, diametrically opposite on a color circle: as seen in Newton’s color circle, red and green, and blue and yellow.
		This color shift is what we would expect in a chroma contrast, and it may happen because the chroma of 80 is enough to make the yellow appear duller than the turquoise, even though the lightness of the two colors is the same.
		According to Rood, the shift color (the color in the central square, which can be expected to shift) should be unsaturated and mid valued, and it should be surrounded by a single strongly saturated color.

		When using the complementary scheme, it is important to choose a dominant color and use its complementary color for accents.
		The triadic color scheme is not as contrasting as the complementary scheme.
		The tetradic (double complementary) scheme is the richest of all the schemes because it uses four colors arranged into two complementary color pairs.

	The Voice of Color
		Complementary colors: Colors that are opposite one another in the chromatic circle are called complementary.
		However, interaction between colors may cause a hue such as red-violet to appear warmer if it is placed next to a cold color, such as green, or colder if it is placed next to a warm color, such as orange.

	Color Schemes
		Color schemes are used for decorating in homes, fabric designs and by artists in general.
		These colors are similar to the complementary colors but instead of using the colors complement, you split to the sides and use the colors next to it.
		These are colors that are closely related because they lie next to each other on the color wheel.

	Color theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the arts and of painting, graphic design, and photography, color theory is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual impact of specific colour combinations.
		In fact, only the mathematical primary colors used in colorimetry can "mix" or quantify all visible (perceptually possible) colors; but to do this the colors are defined as lying outside the range of visible colors: they cannot be seen.
		As a result three color printing became aesthetically and economically feasible in mass printed media, and the artists' color theory was adapted to primary colors most effective in inks or photographic dyes: cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY).

	Teaching Color Theory
		You may want to divide the color lesson into two parts - the first for discussion of color and introduction of the color wheel, and the second for the assembly of the sculptures.
		Now pick one of the colors on either side of it (these are called adjacent colors) and use that to color three small shapes that are not touching each other".
		This directed approach to color is not only fun (the students think of it as a game) but it yields results that are visually exciting and your students will use colors in ways they would never have thought of.
