Complementary Colors


Part I    
The most vibrant color combinations are those of complementary colors.  Red and green.  Violet and yellow.  These colors are found on the opposite side of the color wheel.  Complementary colors attract attention and are often used in advertising.  When mixed together, complementary colors will produce neutrals: grey, white, or black.  If you stare at  a single color for more than a few seconds, as example blue, and then stare at a white surface, the complementary color (yellow in this case) will appear.
Part II
Imagine you are a color.
What color might you prefer?
Part III
Imagine that you and your lover are not bodies come together; you are a celebration of color.
You are red and green and yellow.
Dancing in a darkened room, you are blue.
