It has an opposite on a color wheel.

Talk to an artist. A color wheel is a color wheel.

See answer from fishgirl...she is an artist.

Red, Blue and Yellow are primary colours... on a wheel... valR is correct.  Red does have contrasting colours.

The color across from? Is that not considered the opposite? I'm confused now for sure. (Good thing that I said talk to an artist!) lol

Hey fishgirl..thanks for that info. My art class from elementary school is coming back to me now. You always have to get to the right person, to get good info. :)

Just like black is the opposite of white, standard colors also have opposites. The result of putting opposite colors together is either a clashing or loud feeling, depending on which pair you choose. Below are the opposites for primary colors:

Blue is the opposite of Orange
Yellow is the opposite of Purple
Red is the opposite of Green
Black is the opposite of WhiteSource(s):

Who's on first?

Ducky

See answer from fishgirl, the artist.

Red has no opposite. Only black and white are opposites.

Opasite?  Do you mean o-p-p-o-s-i-t-e????

I conceded. Wandering if fubafuba knows now the answer to his question...

How about this one?

Colleen

Yup, green is still the opposite. Draw a direct line over from the "pie points".

I happily accept the expertise of fishgirl and believe that she is right and I was wr..wr...wr...ong!!!  Thank you for your explanation fishy.     :))
