Does red and green work as a colour scheme?

[Aeronaut]

Maybe another way to look at it is by taking cue's from nature's vast pallet of colours...with subtle hue's of green and red living side by side pretty much everywhere in one shape or form.

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.

That is correct.

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: .

I also just used a red headset, skewers, seatpost clamp and freehub spacers.
I thought that using a red ano seatpost, stem etc. would be a bit much, and when I was building a new pair of wheels I stuck to black Pro 2 hubs - if only so I could use them on another colour frame at some time in the future.
