Want to play with complementary colours? in rgb or srgb mode? Try this.
Nothing special, just messing around for a change, away from granites...

This gets complicated.
Are you just selecting complementary hues? Are you keeping saturation
and lightness the same?
What if you select complementary saturations and lightnesses as well?
What about Munsell system or CIELab? You are going to get different
values in those systems as well.

You are certainly right :-) However, I just wanted to keep it simple
while working on a scene, and get a colour complementary to another
there, without all the complications I know nothing about anyway. You
know, "I have this colour, what is its quick-and-dirty complement". That
kind of thing. As I said, nothing special, just handy to have at hand
while doing other things.

I admit that I did not followed the granite discussion (too much
entries). But red and blue are not complementary to each other in any
colour modell I knew. Blue is complementary to some shade of yellow and
red to some shade of green. There is a colour modell which takes red and
cyan and blue and orange as complementary, but I could not find red and
blue.
Best regards

Inspiring ... could we get triadics? :-)

Also, keep in mind (and you already may have!) that the idea of
"complementary colors" was created for the RYB color model not RGB.

Basically, the idea is that colors diametrically opposed on the RYB
color wheel "go well" with each other, and colors diametrically opposed
on the RGB color wheel tend to "clash" heavily. I'm not sure why this is
the case, and why the RYB color wheel "looks nice" (at least in Western
art).

I have not seen a good explanation of this in my research.

Red, green and blue are the additive primaries, or RGB. Their usual
complement are the subtractive primaries : Magenta for green, yellow for
blue and cyan for red, or YCM.
This can obviously change if you use some other colour space.

An analog might be the major scale in music. The seven notes A to G are
not equidistant across an octave, yet they "sound nicer" (at least to
Westerners) so they are given greater weight/bias than the other five
tones. Dunno if it ultimately makes the life of someone learning music
for the first time easier or harder, though.
