This is also a great example of how complementary colors play against each other. This Red-Orange flower isn't the perfect complement to the green herbs, but it's enough to make the flowers practically sizzle with intensity. Simultaneous Contrast can't be photographed. What you see on your computer is a pale imitation of the real thing. Do a Google image search on Complementary Colors and Simultaneous Contrast to see other examples.One of my favorite paintings at the Currier Museum of Art is another good example.

I've been a fan of Project Runway since the very beginning. Season 9 started last night. I won't spill any beans in case you haven't seen it, but I think it's going to be a good season.

Re: Project Runway: Interesting how they audition the contestants, too. I got quite into it last night and enjoyed the fashion show. (Even my hubby came away from the computer to watch the runway part... we both picked the looser!) Incredible how the one that just learned to sew made better pants than the other woman who can sew... don't you think so. Anyway, thanks for the color lesson. I love complements together, and if you vary the shade or tint, I like to wear compliments, too. Your bouquet must smell wonderful.
Hugs,
Thanks for the color lesson. I've sent both links to school for my Desktop Publishing and PhotoShop class color lessons. I learned a lot and read several following pages. Love the bouquet. I really try to use different things like this too but an not very good at it. Fun trying though.
I've been watching the marathons of PR to be ready. loved seeing the auditions, just wish we'd get to spend more time with the previous contestants - Laura Bennett and Mondo! so fun seeing them. give Seth a haircut though. sure hope this is a good season - ugh, the Irina S season in California...
