A complementary color scheme uses two hues from opposite sides of the color wheel to create maximum contrast, making both colors appear more vibrant.
Achieving Pure Contrast
To master a complementary color scheme, assign an unequal 70/30 distribution. Let one dominant hue own the background and shadows while its polar opposite claims the focal subject. Avoid equal 50/50 splits, which create an unpleasant visual vibration that strains the eyes. Always use strict negative prompting to block transitional neighbor hues that dilute the stark, satisfying tension between your chosen pair.
