It's complementary, which is a different word and has a very specific meaning when it comes to colour theory (a colour's complement is the colour directly opposite it on a colour wheel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors
- rhgg 8y agoThey don't appear to be complementary either. The complement to #ee4035 is in the cyan range (~5cf7fa). You can get this by hand. Convert #ee4035 to rgb(234, 64, 53). Subtract those values from max RGB domain (255) and take square root of difference of squares. i.e sqrt(255^2 - 238^2) etc. You end up with rgb(92, 247, 250), or the cyan color mentioned above. You can also check this in several other complementary calculators. I could be missing something.
