He showed right complementary colours. Problem was that camera doesn't show colours correctly. Also it would have been easier if complementary colours shown had been red and green instead of red-orange and blue-green (turquoise).

you should not teach people what you know wrong red and blue are not complementry
complementry colors are oppisite on the color weel your weel is wrong

Complementary colors should be directly opposite each other on the color wheel, correct your color wheel.. Red-Green Yellow-Purple- Orange!

Great, but you talk to fast!

Interesting, I thought it was just for light.
Weird that most know wrong. I remember failing to make black from red and yellow and blue, now it makes sense. Thanks.

Thank you so much! May I have a cup cake? :)

The colours shown as complementaries maybe become neutral in subtractive paint mixture, but in optical (subtractive) mixture, which is important for our feeling, they are not complementary.
Wrong complementary colours are shown in this video!

I'm fairly certain this isn't true. Would you mind elaborating?

CMY inks are hard to come by and economics.
About vivid violets which I mentioned earlier, with, mixing blue which is actually a combination of magenta and cyan in pigment, with red which is actually a combination of yellow and magenta equals a real mess. well not a real mess, but it certainly isn't as vivid as say 1/2 cyan plus 3/4 magenta.
You can research more about it but I can only do so much with 500 characters. I just thought I'd shed some light on rby vs cmy.

Doing a little research, you're absolutely right. Thanks for the info! Fortunately, it doesn't affect our purposes significantly (since we won't actually be mixing any colors), but it's certainly good to know.
