Color Relationships in photography.

 Needless to say, color is an important component in photography. If composed carefully, images with intense color, even those having little variation in light and shade can have lots of impact. In envisioning the image, we should pay greater attention on how we use colors.

What you see above is a color wheel. The colors of strongest contrast lie opposite to each other on the color wheel. Blue lies opposite and is complementary to orange. Harmonic colors lie next together on the color whel(e.g yellow with orange or red with orange). The mood when these colors are brought together is passive compared to complementary colors.
