Complementary Colours

When placed next to each other, complementary colours tend to looked balanced and are the colours opposite to each other on the colour wheel

Also, when placed next to each other they appear to become brighter. They are used together in colour therapy to give balance.

We need the balance of the electric/cool colours and the magnetic/warm colours for our wellbeing and smooth functioning of our bodies.

Magenta is the eighth colour and is not part of the visible spectrum, but is a combination of red and violet, thus combining the energies of those two colours. That is to say, that magenta helps us to use our earthly experience and grounding together with intense spiritual awareness. It can help to release past conditioning and help us to move forward.
