LSU's white jerseys with purple and gold stripes are nowhere near "obnoxious."

Actually, in the world of Design, there's something called The Artist's Color Wheel - which consists of complementary colors - or colors that sit across from each other on the Wheel and stand out as visually appealing when used together.

Purple and yellow(gold) are two of those.
Orange and blue (Florida/Auburn), are two others, as are red and green.

There are some that have a 3-color pattern that are complementary in other ways (Ole Miss, Mizzou in the SEC; Iowa, UCLA others.

How in the world does someone downvote something that actually EXISTS ? Jealousy?

Your link literally says the opposite:

quote:

"Green and Red, Blue and Orange, Yellow and Purple: each color is enhanced by the closeness of its “opposite.”

How does this apply to artists? Well, just because they’re called complementary doesn’t mean you should necessarily use them right next to each other at full strength. That can be rather garish.

and
quote:

Analogous Colors (or Adjacent Colors).

Like it sounds, these are three colors that go well together simply because they’re next to each other on the color wheel.


Besides, I thought Red, Green and Blue were the 3 primary colors.
