Complementary Color Calculator

Picking a complementary color pair by eye is a coin toss half the time — this pulls the exact opposite hue on the color wheel so you get a pairing that's guaranteed to contrast well, whether you're mixing gel colors or setting up a two-color wash. Drag the ring to pick a hue, dial in saturation and lightness, then save any pairing you like to compare a few side by side.
