Using Opposite Colors.

When I make my own  cards for birthdays or whatever, it usually has one  background color along with the text in the opposite color. That way it saves me time of what text color I want to use.

So what is the opposite color of red ?  We all know the primary colors of paint red, yellow and blue.  So if we choose red, the other primary colors that are left are the opposite colors. In this case yellow and blue are  left over, and when we mix equal parts of yellow and blue we get green thus green is the opposite color of red.

Again red,yellow and blue. This time what is the opposite color of blue? Well, yellow and red will be left over so if we mix equal parts of yellow and red we get orange. So orange is the opposite color of blue.

 If we add white and black to the mix along with red, yellow and blue we can make all different kinds of colors, over 2 million of them using various amounts of each color.

Now if you are using photoshop there are lot of choices of colors you can use for the background. To find the opposite color of your background go to "image","adjustments" and finally "invert" .

Use your eye dropper to choose the color then invert back and use the text tool to type in your message. Three pictures are below.
