complementary color
One of a pair of colors usually considered to be
in extreme contrast to each other. Red and green,
yellow and violet, and blue and orange are pairs
of complementary colors. The complementary of a
primary color is produced by mixing the other two
primary colors, e.g., green (which is a mixture of
yellow and blue) is the complementary of red. (233 )
