Lesson 4: Elements of Design: Texture & Colour

Double Complementary harmony

  • Two directly adjacent colours and their complements used together (Fig.4.9) e.g. yellow and yellow-orange with purple and blue-purple
  • Pick only one hue to be outstanding and used in largest account (dulled)
  • Vary intensities and values of other hues, as well as amounts
