Complementary colours sit opposite each other on the colour wheel and "call each other out" to play, they add vibrancy to a painting.
They are pairs of a primary colour (red, yellow and blue) and a secondary colour that does not contain it.
As in: orange (yellow + red) and blue; green (yellow + blue) and red; purple (blue + red) and yellow.
In these examples the colour of the sheep is complementary to the colour of the backgound.
The orange sheep is in a private collection.
