Examples of complementary color in the following topics:
-
- According to traditional color theory (based on subtractive primary colors and the RYB color model), yellow mixed with violet, orange mixed with blue, or red mixed with green produces an equivalent gray and compose the painter's complementary colors.
- These contrasts form the basis of Chevreul's law of color contrast: colors that appear together will be altered as if mixed with the complementary color of the other color.
- Neutrals are obtained by mixing pure colors with white, black or grey, or by mixing two complementary colors.
- In color theory, neutral colors are colors easily modified by adjacent more saturated colors and they appear to take on the hue complementary to the saturated color.
- Chevreul's 1855 "chromatic diagram" based on the RYB color model, showing complementary colors and other relationships.

- A color scheme is the choice of colors that are used in range of media.
- In color theory, a color scheme is the choice of colors that are used in range of media.
- Complementary colors are found directly opposite each other on the traditional color wheel (for instance, purple and yellow, green and red, and orange and blue.
- Analogous colors are groups of colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel, with one being the dominant color (typically a primary or secondary color) and two on either side complementing (most often tertiary colors).
- While this maintains a certain temperature, the scheme also lacks contrast and is less vibrant than complementary schemes.
-
- In the visual arts, color theory is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual impacts of specific color combinations.
- Color theory is centered around the color wheel, a diagram that shows the relationship of the various colors to each other .
- Color "value" refers to the relative lightness or darkness of a color.
- Subtractive color, or "process color," works as the reverse of additive color and the primary colors become cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK).
- Complementary colors can be found directly opposite each other on the color wheel (purple and yellow, green and red, orange and blue).
-
- Color theory is centered around the color wheel, a diagram that shows the relationship of the various colors to each other .
- Complementary colors" are found directly opposite each other on the color wheel, such as purple and yellow, green and red, or orange and blue, and represent the most aesthetically pleasing combinations of the various colors.
- "Subtractive" color theory or "process color" works as the reverse of additive color theory.
- In subtractive color theory the primary colors are yellow, cyan and magenta.
- Color theory is centered around the color wheel, a diagram that shows the relationship of the various colors to each other.

- A new era in color photography began with the introduction of Kodachrome film, available for 16 mm home movies in 1935 and 35 mm slides in 1936.
- It captured the red, green and blue color components in three layers of emulsion.
- A complex processing operation produced complementary cyan, magenta and yellow dye images in those layers, resulting in a subtractive color image.
- All the color films for making prints and slides currently available use the multilayer emulsion approach pioneered by Kodachrome.
- The first durable color photograph, taken by Thomas Sutton in 1861 for James Clerk Maxwell.

- Color Field painting can be recognized by its large fields of solid color spread across or stained into the canvas creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane.
- Color Field is characterized primarily by its use of large fields of flat, solid color spread across or stained into the canvas creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane.
- Color Field painting sought to rid art of superfluous rhetoric and gesture.
- The flat, solid picture plane typical of Color Field paintings is evident in this piece by Barnet Newman, where the color red takes centre stage.
- Jack Bush was a Color Field painter who made used geometric, simple forms to highlight the pure interaction of color in his work.

- Expressive and symbolic uses of color in art refer to the use of color as a subjective means of personal expression.
- Expressive and symbolic uses of color in art refer to the use of color as a subjective means for personal expression and style.
- The movement is generally defined by its artists use of gestural paint application and expressive use of color.
- Van Gogh used an impulsive, gestural application of paint and symbolic colors to express subjective emotions.
- Give examples of expressive and symbolic uses of color in art.

- Artists, especially painters, use the technique to show that faraway objects take on the colors of atmospheric haze and generally appear paler, less detailed, and usually bluer than near objects.
- The colors of the object also become less saturated and shift toward the background color, which is usually blue, but under some conditions may be some other color (for example, at sunrise or sunset distant colors may shift toward red).
- Painters used light and color to create depth, contrasting light and dark to depict close and far subjects.
-
- Post-Impression refers to a genre that rejected the naturalism of Impressionism in favor of using color and form in more expressive manners.
- Post-Impression refers to a genre of painting that rejected the naturalism of Impressionism, in favor of using color and form in more expressive manners.
- For example, they continued using vivid colors, thick application of paint, distinctive brush strokes, and real-life subject matter, but they were also more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, distort forms for expressive effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary colors in their compositions.
- Vincent van Gogh used vibrant colors and swirling brush strokes to convey his feelings and his state of mind .
- Georges Seurat's works are Pointilist, using systematic dots of color to create form and structure.
