Complimentary Colors…

1)Are two colors whose mixture (in the right proportions) produces white (in the case of light) or gray (in the case of pigment)

3) Are colors directly opposite one another on a color wheel and provide the greatest chromatic contrast.

2) In the case of white light (all colors), removing a color will produce its complimentary color.
