High contrast colors from a color wheel

kat.hayes · Oct 3, 2012, 11:51 AM

Do the opposite colors on a color wheel create high contrast? So if I I select a green and go to the opposite end of the wheel and choose red, are both of these colors considered high contrast colors? I see black and white, black and yellow as high contrast, I just didn't think of red and green as high contrast.

Thanks.

Red and green are complementary colors.
