What are complimentary colors?

Colors next to each other on the color wheel
Shades of the same color
Colors on opposite sides of the color wheel
Bright and dark versions of the same color

The correct answer is: Colors on opposite sides of the color wheel

Complimentary colors are colors that lie on opposite sides of the color wheel. Option A and B are both incorrect because they involve colors that are too similar to be considered complimentary. Option D is also incorrect because complimentary colors do not need to be different versions of the same color, they can be completely different colors on the color wheel. For example, blue and orange are complimentary colors even though they are not different versions of the same color.
