I am confusing "complementary colors" with "triadic colors".
Never mind, sorry.

Well... I do not want to open a can of worms here as I already did
apparently ;-)
So maybe... but as I already mentioned earlier, I am just messing around
to get something of a complementary (?) colour I can use and tweak as I
want afterwards in a scene. Consider it the equivalent of pressing paint
tubes on your palet and happily mixing the mess. :-) That is how I work,
really.
This whole exercise does not go beyond that. No hidden or arcane intentions.

Bad example, because the science behind musical harmony is reasonably
well understood. It all boils down to stuff the Pythagoreans already
knew about, which is all about the frequency ratios.
The only complication is the invention of temperaments, which introduce
a slight offset to just intonation to get some other benefits of musical
expression.

I would argue that the perceived "clash" of complementary colors in the
RGB system (highly saturated EGB colors, that is) is due to such colors
NEVER EVER occurring besides each other in the natural world. They
simply cannot. Because those extreme colours _per se_ can never be
achieved reflectively from natural white-ish light.
For example, to get pure RGB red, you need to blast out red light in
such a narrow spectral band, that the brightness within said band
exceeds the brightness within the corresponding band of natural
white-ish light.

Until you get into the really wild stuff of which 432 vs 440 is probably only
the tip of the iceberg. . .

For a flying pirouette into the deep end, clutch your energy crystals and
search: Rosslyn Chapel and you'll land firmly into Giza, Angkor Wat, Hypogeum
territory.
Meanwhile, decades later, millions are still endlessly amused by "more cowbell!"

I just think it's weird that colors 120 degrees apart from each other in
the RYB color wheel always "match", whereas nothing like that exists for
the RGB color wheel.

Though I suppose they could "match" only because we've always been
shown/told that they "match". I.e. tradition.

I like one of the comments:
"The 440 is tense/uptight. The 432 is richer, deeper and has clarity.
I would agree 440 sounds a little tinny, less mellow.

When I was heavily into POV, I would see things in terms of shapes and
colors. Like, "That's a red pyramidal idea!" or "That's so blue cube!"
Now that I read and write more, I see things in terms of black print on
white paper; letters and sentences, and words rearranging themselves to
fit correct grammar. A musician might hear tones and see notes all the
time. A carpenter, linear forces (such as a hammer hitting a nail) and
simple geometry. Someone who watches movies a lot might think in terms
of two-dimensionally projected images. Likewise, people of the New Age
persuasion have their own language in which they view the world. (And,
no, language does not just exist in the mouth or written/printed word.)

And light and shadow.
