<p># <strong>Andrew</strong> - then I'm not alone :-)<br> # <strong>Rich</strong> - great software tips - do you know any freeware of same caliber?<br /><br />I'm using Adobe Kuler and even their RGB wheel using color rule "complementary" with value 255 0 0 gives green as complementary. <br /><br />Even Adobe are confused?<br /><br />Maybe someone here is Santa Claus? Or is everyone lying about him as well?<br />BTW - is his clothes red?<br />If yes - why do we often see green complementing it as accessories around him?<br /><br />Thommy</p>

<p>Thanks for all great feedback!<br> Still not 100% convinced what to use and how in my photography. Here are some articles and videos about how to use and make benefit of the complementary colors.<br />And all stated that red and green are complementary colors :<br> <br />http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/tip/1128/make-your-photos-more-colorful-with-complimentary-colors/<br /><br />http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2013/03/08/color-photography-understanding-complementary-colors/<br /><br /> <p>I would say that 90% of all photo related articles, tutorials, videos etc I have seen claims red and green to be complementary. <br /><br /> Why is that?</p>

<p>Hi<br> I'm trying to understand how to use complemetary colors in my photography or post-processing. In RGB for example we have red - cyan on opposite side of the color wheel and complementing each other, but often the complemetary color to red is said to be green as in RYB.<br />Which one do I as a photographer have to consider? Do we use RGB table or RYB table?<br> Thanks!<br /><br /><em><strong>Thommy</strong></em></p>
