What is the basic idea of a split complementary scheme?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Taking one colour and the two neighbours of its complement
The governing concept is a colour-wheel relationship. In a split complementary scheme, an initial colour is selected and, instead of using its direct complement, the two colours beside that complement are used. This produces contrast while usually being less severe than a direct complementary pair. Hence option A is correct; one-colour use is monochromatic, black and white is achromatic, and random colour selection is not a defined scheme.
