Complementary colours

Correct answer: C. तीव्र रंग-विरोध लगातार सक्रिय रहता है

The correct answer is C: strong colour contrast remains constantly active. Complementary colours are opposite or strongly contrasting colour relationships. When highly saturated complementary colours occupy large, equal areas, the eye must continually adjust between their intense differences. Their boundaries may appear especially energetic or vibrating, and prolonged viewing can feel tiring. A is incorrect because complementary colours do not simply become neutral when placed side by side; mixing or optical interaction is a different issue. B is incorrect because colour contrast does not remove physical or pictorial space. D is incorrect because texture is a separate visual element and is not automatically eliminated. A controlled accent of complementary colour can create emphasis, but covering equal large areas with intense complements may reduce comfort. Memory cue: strong complements are powerful accents; too much uninterrupted contrast can tire the eye.

Correct answer: D. Use it as small accent or focal point

The correct answer is D: use the complementary colour as a small accent or focal point. Analogous colours sit near one another on the colour wheel and usually create a related, harmonious impression. A complementary colour is opposite a chosen colour and therefore creates stronger contrast. That contrast can attract the eye and add energy, but if it is spread equally across the whole page or placed on every object, it may overpower the analogous harmony and make the composition restless. A controlled accent should be placed intentionally where attention is needed, such as a small detail or focal area, while the surrounding colours remain supportive. Option A removes control by distributing contrast everywhere. Option B creates repeated competition. Option C misunderstands the goal: the complementary colour should enrich harmony, not destroy it. Memory cue: a strong complementary colour works best as punctuation, not as every word.

Correct answer: A. Add neutral band or clear value contrast

Answer: A. Complementary colours are opposite on the colour wheel, so placing them beside each other can create a very strong edge and make small text appear to flicker or vibrate. This effect reduces comfortable reading because the eye must work hard to separate the letterforms from the competing colour fields. A neutral strip, such as white, grey, or another quiet separating area, can give the text a calmer boundary. Clear value contrast, meaning a dependable light-dark difference, also improves legibility. B would intensify the disturbance. C would remove useful letter detail and make reading harder. D removes breathing space and does not solve colour interaction. Memory cue: strong colour opposition needs a quiet support for text.
