Achieve Great Color Match Through Complementary Colors


Complementary color match are any two colors which are directly opposite each other, such as red and green. These opposing colors create maximum contrast and maximum stability.






complementary color match

When combining complementary colors in dressing up, we should avoid using two dark colors, vivid colors or dull colors. However, we can mix two light complementary colors.

Looking at our grosgrain ribbon chart, here are some examples how we can pair them up.


Light Pink Celadon


Lavender Wheat




But to get an even better harmony in complemntary hues color coordination is by coordinating light and dull or dark colors.

Millennium Blue Brown


Misty Mauve Cream




Interestingly, it seems that coordination between dark blue, purple, and mauve, in particular, complement pretty well against vivid colors.

Blueberry Yellow Gold


Purple Yellow


Misty Mauve Lime




Similarly, dark colors of red, orange, and green hues can create a nice combination against the vivid colors.

Cranberry Lime


Orange Blue


Forest Green Yellow Gold




Three color coordination involves two complementary colors and one in between color the two.

To coordinate three colors of contrasting hues have a tendency to be skewed toward a certain hue. So it is best to balance one of the complementary hues with a light or dark shade.

Cream Wisteria Hot Pink


Lime Purple Oatmeal


Turquiose Maroon Yellow Gold


Orange Blueberry Apple Green




Let's move on for more harmonic color schemes and color match concepts. We can always make stylish ribbon wears that sell!
