Step 2 Complement: A Palette of Contrasts
In the world of color theory, complement colors are those that stand opposite on the color wheel. But what happens when we take this concept to the next level? Enter Step 2 Complement, where we not only find the color opposite our base color, but also its second cousin, twice removed.
Imagine a color wheel with not just 2, but 4 arms. The first arm represents the base color, its complement, and their love child. The second arm is where things get interesting, with the second cousin, twice removed, and its own complement, creating a kaleidoscope of contrast.
To illustrate this, let's take a simple example. Suppose we start with the color red. Its complement is green, and their love child, yellow-green. But what about the second cousin, twice removed? That would be teal, the result of green and yellow-green having a torrid affair.
