The difference between complementary color and contrast color

There are obvious differences between complementary color and contrast color in chromatics.

Complementary color is a concept in chromatics, which refers to two colors that are opposite to each other at 180 degrees, such as red, green, purple, yellow, blue and orange. Complementary colors are characterized by putting two complementary colors together, which can produce very bright, dazzling and saturated visual effects. This kind of color collocation is very common in daily life, such as in advertising, photography, art and other fields.

Contrast color refers to the collocation of contrast colors, including the collocation of strong colors or complementary colors, which will produce a bright, energetic and jumping feeling. In practical application, we should choose the contrast color according to the characteristics of color and the theme of the product to improve the overall effect.

Generally speaking, complementary color and contrast color are different in visual effect, but in practical application, both of them have their unique charm.
