Complementary colours
पूरक रंग
In this Class 10 Art Education topic from the Colour Study chapter, students learn how complementary colours are positioned opposite each other on the colour wheel and how their contrast creates visual energy. They explore pairs such as red and green, blue and orange, and yellow and violet, while observing changes in intensity, balance, and emphasis. The topic also helps students apply complementary colours thoughtfully in compositions, understand colour relationships, and use contrast to create harmony, focus, and expressive impact.
