Not exactly a question, more like nitpicking, but shouldn’t it be “complEmentary” since the opposites “complete” or “complement” each other? I’m a non-native english speaker and this bit got me confused, thinking I’ve been spelling it wrong this entire time, lol.

Hey there, It actually is spelled “Compliment” with an “i” but it’s a common mistake =]

Actually complement and compliment are two different things. Compliment means something nice and complement means to complete. So in this case I think nayro is correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors
