300 Color Harmony Compendium
Energetic
Color combinations that are ener-
getic often contain red-violet, also known
as fuchsia. It sends an unmistakable mes-
sage of activity. Fuchsia, or magenta, has
such an exuberant personality that in
order to be workable it is often combined
with its complementary hue, chartreuse.
A clash combination using fuchsia and
yellow or green will be exciting for the
moment, but will invariably limit the over-
all effect of the combination and lessen its
workability. Yellow-green, when paired with
fuchsia or magenta, heightens the enthusias-
tic personality of this energetic color.
