For example, when two colors of light mixed into a white color light, the main wavelengths of the two colors of light is defined as the complementary wavelengths, but the main wavelengths of the complementary colors in different light sources will be different; in the chromaticity diagram, any straight line through the light, the wavelength of its spectral trajectory intercepted at any two points of the wavelength of the complementary wavelengths of the corresponding pair of wavelengths of light called complementary colors. A pair of complementary wavelengths of light is called a complementary color. In nature, each color has its main wavelength, can be found with the corresponding complementary wavelength and complementary color. However, in the chromaticity diagram belongs to the green spectral wavelength (493-567nm) of the color light, but can not find the corresponding complementary wavelengths, this is because this range of wavelengths of the color light complementary color is the magenta system of colors, and the magenta system of colors in the spectral chromaticity diagram does not exist in these colors of monochromatic light, which is a mix of red and blue light, so in the chromaticity diagram can not be found in the green spectral wavelengths (493-567nm), but can not be found in the green spectral wavelengths (493-567nm). Spectral wavelengths (493-567nm) of the complementary wavelengths of color light, for these magenta colors are called extra-spectral colors.
When looking at colors, the complementary colors will always follow the main color, which is related to the degree of fatigue or illusion of the photoreceptor cells in the retina after being stimulated by light. When people look at the color, the visual range of various colors of color light will stimulate the cone photoreceptor cells on the retina, and produce the color seen; but the cone photoreceptor cells on the retina has been stimulated by the same color light, there will be stimulation fatigue phenomenon, the formation of complementary colors. In addition, we all know that the environmental color is one of the factors affecting the color of the object, and the environmental color of the object color, the most important effect is the contrast phenomenon between the environmental color and the object color, resulting in changes in the color of the object. For example: the magenta and green side by side, will show the magenta more red, green more green, this is because in the magenta and green ditch with each other at the edge of the intersection of the complementary colors of green and magenta respectively, so strengthened the color of each color, resulting in magenta more red, green more green phenomenon. Because of the color contrast makes each color in their own surroundings and their own color hue of the opposite opposite color, this opposite color does not actually exist, this phenomenon is the visual illusion caused by the complementary color. Just like black and white alone, does not appear white very white, black very black, but if the two together, there will be white very white, black and white very black phenomenon, which is the contrast effect caused by the illusion.
Warm and cold colors:
Refers to the warm and cold properties of colors. Color warm and cold feeling is people in long-term life practice due to the formation of association. Red, orange, yellow often reminds people of the rising sun in the east and the burning fire, so there is a warm feeling, so called "warm colors"; blue often reminds people of the blue sky, the shadow of the snow and ice, so there is a cold feeling, so called "cold colors"; green, Purple and other colors give people the feeling is not cold or warm, so it is called "neutral color". The warmth and coldness of colors are relative. In the same kind of color, containing more warm components of the warmer, and vice versa, the colder.
==============================================================
Contrast:
Contrast is a physiological phenomenon produced by the human visual senses, and is the balancing effect of color on the retina.
The colors opposite each other (180 degrees diagonally) in the hue ring are called "contrasting colors (complementary colors)". Putting contrasting colors together will give people a strong sense of rejection. If they are mixed together, they will produce a muddy color. Such as: red and green, blue and orange, yellow and purple are contrasting colors.
You can also define the contrasting colors: two colors that can be clearly distinguished, called the contrasting colors. Including hue contrast, brightness contrast, saturation contrast, warm and cold contrast, complementary color contrast, color and color contrast. It is an important means of constituting an obvious color effect, but also an important method of giving colors an expressive power. Its form of expression superior at the same time contrast and successive contrast points. For example, yellow and blue, purple and green, red and green, any color and black, white, gray, dark and light colors, cold and warm colors, bright and dark colors are contrasting color relationships.
Complementary color refers to a primary color in the chromatogram and its corresponding intermediate color formed by the complementary color relationship. There are three primary colors, namely, red, yellow and blue, they are color units that can not be decomposed. Three primary colors in each of the two groups of matching colors called intercolors, such as red and yellow for orange, yellow and blue for green, blue and red for purple, orange, green, purple is called intercolors. Red and green, orange and blue, yellow and purple is the complementary color relationship. Because the complementary color has a strong separation, so in the performance of color painting, in the appropriate location of the appropriate use of complementary colors, not only to strengthen the color contrast, pull away from the sense of distance, but also to show a special visual contrast and balance effect.
In clothing, architecture, home, art, advertising and other design more and more use of contrasting colors. Now the market economy is the era of attention, the application of contrasting colors in art design is also more and more important. Like black and white, red and green, blue and yellow and other classic contrasting colors are tried and true in all walks of life.

Complementary color:
When two colors of light are mixed to form a white color light, the main wavelengths of these two colors of light are defined as complementary wavelengths, but in different light source Complementary color of the main wavelength is going to be different; in the chromaticity diagram, any straight line through the light source, the wavelength of any two points of the spectral trajectory intercepted by the wavelength of the corresponding complementary wavelengths, and this pair of complementary wavelengths of light is called complementary color. In nature, each color has its main wavelength, can be found with the corresponding complementary wavelength and complementary color. However, in the chromaticity diagram belongs to the green spectral wavelength (493-567nm) of the color light, but can not find the corresponding complementary wavelength, this is because this range of wavelengths of the color light complementary color is the color of the magenta system, and magenta system of colors in the spectral chromaticity diagram does not exist in the monochromatic light, which is a mix of red and blue light, so in the chromaticity diagram can not be found on the green spectral wavelengths (493-567nm), and this pair of complementary wavelengths is called complementary color. wavelength (493-567nm) color light complementary wavelengths, for these magenta colors called extra-spectral color.
When looking at colors, the complementary colors follow the main color at all times, which is related to the fatigue or illusion of the photoreceptor cells in the retina after being stimulated by light. When people look at the color, the visual range of various colors of color light will stimulate the cone photoreceptor cells on the retina, and produce the color seen; but the cone photoreceptor cells on the retina has been stimulated by the same color light, there will be stimulation fatigue phenomenon, the formation of complementary colors.

Color expression
Whether colored or colorless, have their own expression characteristics, each color quite its purity and brightness changes, or in a Each color has its own expression when its purity and brightness change, or when it is in a different color matching relationship, the expression of the color changes. Therefore, to say that the various colors of the expression characteristics, as to say that the world of each person's personality traits as difficult, but for the typical character, we can still make some description.
Red Red
Red is a warm, impulsive, powerful color that accelerates muscle function and blood circulation. Because red is the longest wavelength of visible light wave this characteristic, so it and easy to attract attention, so in a variety of media is also widely used, in addition to better visual effect, more is used to convey the meaning of vitality, positive, enthusiastic, warmth, forward and other meanings of the enterprise's image and spirit, and in addition, the red is also commonly used as a warning, danger, prohibited, fire prevention and other marking colors, people in some occasions or objects, see the red label, often in a number of occasions or objects, the red label. In addition, red is also commonly used as a warning, danger, prohibition, fire and other identification colors, people in some occasions or objects, see the red label, often do not have to look carefully at the content, and can understand the meaning of the warning of the danger, in the color of industrial safety, red that is, warning, danger, prohibition, fire prevention of the designated color.
Big red is generally used to eye-catching, such as the red flag, a little red in the bush; light red is generally more gentle, tender, such as: the layout of the new house, children's clothing; crimson can generally be used as a backdrop to have a deeper and more enthusiastic feeling.
Orange Orange
Orange is a cheerful and lively light color, is the warmest color in the warm color family, it reminds people of the golden autumn, fruitful, is a rich, happy and happy color.

Orange and light green and light blue match, can constitute the loudest, most joyful color. Orange matched with light yellow has a very comfortable sense of transition. Orange is generally not compatible with purple or dark blue, which would give an unclean and obscure feeling. Because orange is very bright and blinding, sometimes it will make people have negative and vulgar imagery, this situation is especially likely to happen in the use of clothing, so when using orange, pay attention to the choice of matching colors and expressions, in order to bring out the orange bright and lively with the characteristics of the palate.

Yellow and green match, looks very energetic, energetic; yellow and blue match, looks beautiful, fresh; light yellow and dark yellow match looks most elegant.
Pale yellow goes with almost all colors, but if it is to be eye-catching, it should not be placed on other light colors, especially white, because it will make you see nothing.
Green Green
In commercial design, green conveys the freshness, ideal, hope, growth of imagery, in line with the service industry, health care industry's demand, in order to avoid eye fatigue during the operation of the factory, many of the work of the machinery is also the use of green, the general health care institutions, also often use green for space color planning that is marked with medical supplies.
Vivid green is a very beautiful, elegant color, it is vibrant, symbolizing life. Green tolerance, generosity, can accommodate almost all the colors. The use of green is extremely broad, whether it is childhood, youth, middle age, or old age, the use of green will never lose its lively, generous. In a variety of paintings, decorations are inseparable from the green, green can also be used as a color of leisure.
Green infiltrated into the yellow for yellow-green, it is simple, young; green infiltrated into the blue for blue-green, it is clean, open-minded. Containing gray green, is still a quiet, calm color, like the forest in the twilight or the fields in the morning mist. Dark green and light green match has a harmonious, peaceful feeling; green and white match, looks young; light green and black match, looks beautiful, generous. Green matched with light red symbolizes the arrival of spring.
Blue Blue
Blue is the color of the vastness of the sky and the sea are azure. Blue is a symbol of eternity, it is the coldest color. The pure blue color expresses beauty, serenity, rationality, peace and cleanliness.
Because of the calm nature of blue, with reason, accurate imagery, in commercial design, emphasizing technology, efficiency of goods or corporate image, most of the choice of blue as the standard color, corporate color, such as computers, cars, photocopiers, photographic equipment, etc., in addition to the blue also represents the melancholy, which is affected by the influence of Western culture, this imagery is also used in the literary works or sensual appeal of the commercial design.
Blue has a wide range of uses, blue can stabilize the mood, sky blue can be used as hospitals, health equipment decoration, or summer clothing, curtains and so on. In general, painting and all kinds of jewelry is also inseparable from the blue.
Different blue and white match, showing bright, fresh and clean; blue and yellow match, contrast, more bright; large pieces of blue are generally not matched with green, they can only penetrate into each other, into blue-green, lake blue or cyan, which is also intoxicating color; light green and black match, look solemn, old and cultivated.
Purple purple
Because of the strong feminine character, in the commercial design of color, purple is also subject to considerable restrictions, in addition to female-related commodities or corporate image, other categories of design is not often used as the main color.
Purple is the shortest wavelength of visible light. Purple is a non-perceptual color, it is beautiful and mysterious, gives people a deep impression, it is both threatening and inspiring. Purple is the hue that symbolizes piety, and when light and understanding illuminate the obscuring color of piety, the beautiful and lovely halo color enchants the mind!
The expression of solitude and devotion in purple, and the expression of divine love and the realm of spiritual dominion in fuchsia, is the expressive value that purple brings.
Purple is in a state of flux between warm and cold, which, together with its low-light nature, constitutes a negative sense of the psychology of this color. Unlike yellow, purple can not accommodate many colors, but it can accommodate many faded levels, a dark pure purple as long as the addition of a small amount of white, it will become a very beautiful, soft color. As white continues to be added, many layers of mauve are produced, and each layer of mauve looks so soft and moving.
Brown brown
Brown is usually used to express the texture of the original material, such as hemp, wood, bamboo, cork, etc., or used to convey some of the raw materials of the color of the drink that taste, such as coffee, tea, wheat, etc., or to emphasize the classic elegance of the tone of the enterprise or the image of the goods.
White white
White has a high-level, scientific and technological imagery, usually need to be used in conjunction with other colors, pure white will bring others a cold, grim feeling, so in the use of white, will be mixed with some other colors, such as ivory, beige, milky white, apple white, in daily necessities, apparel color, white is always popular main color, can be used with any color.

Color, not too single, dull, and dull, stiff feeling.
Black and white is the last abstraction of color, representing the color world of the yin and yang poles. The Tai Chi pattern is to express the eternal movement of the universe in the form of a cycle of black and white colors. Black means emptiness, like the destruction of the sun, like eternal silence, no future, loss of hope. And the white silence is one of endless possibilities. Black and white are extreme opposing colors, and they always show their power by the existence of each other. They seem to be the master of the whole color world.
I am afraid that gray is the most passive color in the color system, it is a complete neutral color, relying on neighboring colors to get life. Gray means the disappearance of all color contrasts, and is the most peaceful resting point for vision. However, the human eye can not long, infinite gaze at the gray, because endless rest means death.
Black, white, gray in the color scheme occupies a fairly major position, they are active in a variety of color schemes, the maximum change in each other's brightness, luminance and hue, resulting in multi-level, multi-variety of beautiful colors, so they are never to be ignored colorless.
