What are the complitary colors?

Complementary colors are pairs of colors that, when combined, cancel each other out, resulting in a grayscale color like white or black. In the traditional color wheel, complementary colors are located opposite each other; for example, blue is complementary to orange, red to green, and yellow to purple. When used together in design, they create high contrast and can make each color appear more vibrant. This principle is widely applied in art, design, and Photography to enhance visual impact.
