If complementary colours are tiring the eye what is the most balanced correction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reduce the intensity of one colour and add a neutral area
Complementary colours placed together create strong visual contrast. If that contrast becomes tiring, reducing the intensity or saturation of one colour and introducing a neutral or empty area gives the eye visual rest and balances the composition. Merely making the colour areas smaller may still leave the harsh contrast. Exam tip: For excessive complementary contrast, mention “neutral area” and “reduced intensity.”
