The Gift of Compliments
Today we are celebrating the complimentary pair, yellow and purple, which shows up in nature, architecture and signage, but can always take our breath away.
Opposite each other on the color wheel…the pair creates both harmony and drama, the contrast of which can be softened by the hues of their surroundings.
If complimentary colors are mixed together, they “neutralize” each other’s color “properties (akin to mixing black and white ), and can create beautiful grays and rich browns.
Juxtaposing yellow and purple can create instant associations: royalty (royal purple and gold), springtime (purple crocuses with yellow centers), and holidays (I will let You figure that one out…).
But most often, I feel, our reaction is simply that of pure joy.
Color…is energetic…so… EnJoy!
Nature is just wonderful
Thank you Tingting! Are you the same Tingting whose apartment we rented in Santa Monica in 2011? Best wishes!
Haha no I’m Canadian, it’s interesting to know there is another person with the same name, what a small world 🙂
