complementary colour for darkbrown

If red is the opposite of green and blue is the other side of yellow. What is the opposite of dark brown?178.8.121.173 (talk) 08:31, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article on Brown and you may be able to hypothesize what its complementary color would be, if any. Also, here are some ideas. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:08, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So it is cyan, right? 178.8.121.173 (talk) 09:17, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be the general answer, but it would depend on the exact mix used to create the brown color. The basic definition of Complementary color is that the two colors cancel each either out, resulting in black or white or some other greyscale. So if you determine the colors and proportions used in creating the brown, you would have to figure the complement of each of those colors and mix them in the same proportion. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:25, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
