Complementary colours are opposite another on the colour wheel.
For example purple is complementary to yellow, orange is complementary
to blue and green is complementary to red. When any of these pairings
are used they bring attention and excitement to a composition.
Monochrome colour is used to describe when only one colour is
used in a composition. For example only red is used with different tints
of white and shades of black. This is used to achieve a certain mood or
feeling.
Analogous colours lie on the same side of the colour wheel. For
example red, orange and yellow sit together and would be described as
'analogous' because when they are placed together they create a unified
warm feeling.
