ferrit":3ntdhi03 said:yeah of course they are, in colour theory they are opposite on the colour wheel so definately complimentary.
But then my mam always used to say "Red and green should not be seen unless upon a fool"
Mine used to say much the same, except her version was "pink and green" (not that I ever wore pink anyway
)It depends on the green I think and on how much red there is...I rather like it, but then I would say that I suppose :roll: .

Neil G this is the theory as I was taught for interior design - when using green as the primary colour red is exactly opposite on the colour wheel and is classed as complementary, red/orange is split-complimentry to green as is red/violet, and full orange and full violet are triadic (to be used in threes).
For Red as the primary colour the complimentary is green, split complimentaries are blue/greens and yellow/greens, triadics are blue and yellow.
Andy R's olive hummingbird would be a yellow/green and works with the full red of the hope components as a split complimentary.
