Possessing equal amounts of blue
and yellow, green suggests health and
prosperity. Although weak in its softest
tints, green, a recessive hue, only needs
to be combined with small amounts of its
strong complement, red, to increase its
vitality. Using colors analogous to green
on the color wheel will create strong color
combinations that resemble vivid, out-
door environments. Like newly mowed
grass on a clear day, sky blue and green
always look fresh and natural together.
