the subtractive models - in relation to the mixing of paints.identify the colours which are opposite in that theory!.identify which model of colour theory you want to use.decide what sort of colour mixing you are talking about - additive, subtractive or partitive.So, in summary, in order to identify complementary colours Just one problem with that definition - which is that Wikipedia hasn't yet got round to producing an article on 'perceptually uniform' - although I think what it is referring to is partitive models of colour theory - which are all about the perception of colour.
The exact hue “complementary” to a given hue depends on the model in question, and perceptually uniform, additive, and subtractive color models, for example, have differing complements for any given color. Wikipedia provides a more accurate way of describing complementary colours.Ĭomplementary colors are pairs of colors that are of “opposite” hue in some color model.
