V is for Vivid (blue and orange)


For Day #292 of the 365 Days of art, I have some blue and orange....





Each primary color (
redblue, and yellow) has a contrasting "complementary" color that makes it stand out more. The complementing color is what you get by mixing the other two primaries (red + bluepurpleblue + yellow = greenred + yellow = orange).

The pairs are 
red and green, purple and yellow, and blue and orange. 
Today we have some blue and orange and when complementary colors are placed side by side - they become more VIVID - stand out more - so they are good for signage, logos, or times when you desire contrast.
