Dynamic colors make your room much interesting

Complimentary color theme is selecting two colors which lies opposite to each other in color wheel.

This theme works well as it give a dynamic look to the room.
Best three combinations of complimentary colors are
1.       Blue and orange
2.       Red and green
3.       Purple and yellow

The three traditional sets of complimentary colors,  red and green, yellow and purple, and orange and blue. You can see them positioned opposite one another on the color wheel .
Complementary colors, when used together in color schemes, are especially dynamic and pleasing to the eye. This is because different types of cones (the photoreceptor cells in your eye that contribute to color vision) perceive different colors of light. If you stare for a long time at a block of color and then quickly look at a white wall, you'll see a light after image in the opposite, or complementary, color.
For example, let's say you're staring at a blue square. after a while, the cells in your eye that process blue light will become fatigued, making the signal they send to your brain slightly weaker. Since that part of the visual spectrum is slightly suppressed, when you look at a white wall after staring at the blue square, you'll see a faint orange afterimage. What you're seeing is the white spectrum of light from the wall, minus a tiny bit of blue, which your brain processes as orange.

 It means that combinations of complementary colors are especially dynamic together, since they play up each other's intensity. A small amount of orange really elevates in a blue room (and vice versa) because  eye wants to see that color.
