Which is right....... Red & Green...... or Blue & Green should never be seen?

I wanted to change my lounge colours and have Red but dont want to get rid of the big green flower pic. Then somebody at work said... ooohh red n green never to be seen... so it put me right off!!! But somebody else said its Green n Blue.

I was taught blue and green as they are closer to each other in the colour spectrum than red and green are to each other.

At a distance blue and green blend into each other and you end up with a coagulated mess if you don't pick the right shades, but if you pick dark green and light blue, or light green and dark blue you'll see they are in conflict with each other.

Here's a clue to colours:

If you have a Paint programme on your pc open it and look at the colour wheel. Pick the colour you like and look across the wheel to see which colour is directly opposite from it - that's the colour best suited to the one you've chosen, and for red - it's opposing colour is blue.

its all bollocks anyway, subtle use of blu and green together can be evocative of the sky over a beautiful landscape, its all how its done.

like so many things in life its ok to understand basic rules of thumb but artistry comes from understanding how we can transcend those parameters well.

Get some colour charts and they often have matched shades that are harmonious. Its not just the colours that sometimes don't match its also the shade.

That's either your power supply or your motherboard.

It seems to be from the silver boxed in bit where the power lead plugs in the tower.. Unsure if it will be worth getting repaired

Opposites contrast.... use thirds to compliment and sections of 3 to blend

I've always known the saying as blue and green should not be seen without a colour in between, but either way, someone forgot to tell Mother Nature....red flowers, blue flowers...any colour flowers - they all have green leaves.

I think anything goes IF you get the shades right.... easier said than done I know, but nature manages to mix things beautifully

Indeed - it is the tint and whether the colours are warm or cold that determines whether they look good next to each other, on many occasions anyway
