yellow and violet the superior complementary color pair ORANGE AND TEAL CAN SUCK A DICK
ay gusto niyo ng nerd time? (alam ko hindi pero la kayong choice) orange and teal isn’t even actually a complimentary pair
orange is actually paired with pure blue. “teal” is just a fancy shade of blue-green, which should be paired with red-orange

- instead. this is why orange and teal filters look so unrealistic and even harsh to the eyes. they don’t come together naturally in nature, and even the contrast is off balance. the reason complementary pairs are on opposite sides of the spectrum is bec if u mix them u get a -
- perfectly neutral shade of grey, which balances the intense contrast of the two colors. u dont get this with orange and teal. notice how the greys are more to the warm side rather than neutral. this is why you can easily tell that the image is filtered (v badly) -
- as compared to when you match orange with blue, the proper complimentary pairs, which are both more soothing to the eyes and more natural to look at. (speedy edit pls don’t nitpick ik the mixing isn’t perfect but u get the point HAHA)
so tl;dr: ur fav orange n teal filters r shit. ur aEsThEtiC is an eyesore n there’s nothing truly aesthetic abt it
