The Interplay of Complementary Colors in Painting

In order to know complementary colors, one must first become familiar with the color wheel. The complementary colors are those that are opposite each other on the color wheel, such as red/green, blue/orange, and yellow/violet. If placed following to one another in their fullest intensity, they tend to nearly vibrate. The colors push each other to brilliance. Since of the complementary color's opposite natures, when these colors are mixed, their brilliance is dulled and the mixture can turn to a muddy brown. The cause why is since the colors have all the primaries, red, yellow and blue in the mixtures. All the primaries mixed will result in a very muddy mixture.
