Color Wheel

http://www.worqx.com/color/images/primary-secondary.gif
A color wheel (also referred to as a color circle) is a visual representation of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship. Begin a color wheel by positioning primary hues equidistant from one another, then create a bridge between primaries using secondary and tertiary colors.
These terms refer to color groups or types:

http://www.worqx.com/color/images/primary.gif
Primary Colors: Colors at their basic essence; those colors that cannot be created by mixing others.
http://www.worqx.com/color/images/secondary.gif
Secondary Colors: Those colors achieved by a mixture of two primaries.
http://www.worqx.com/color/images/tertiary.gif
Tertiary Colors: Those colors achieved by a mixture of primary and secondary hues.
http://www.worqx.com/color/images/red-green.gif
Complementary Colors: Those colors located opposite each other on a color wheel.
http://www.worqx.com/color/images/analogous.gif
Analogous Colors: Those colors located close together on a color wheel.
The color wheel can be divided into ranges that are visually active or passive. Active colors will appear to advance when placed against passive hues. Passive colors appear to recede when positioned against active hues.

Advancing hues are most often thought to have less visual weight than the receding hues.
Most often warm, saturated, light value hues are "active" and visually advance.
Cool, low saturated, dark value hues are "passive" and visually recede.
Tints or hues with a low saturation appear lighter than shades or highly saturated colors.
Some colors remain visually neutral or indifferent.

Color relationships may be displayed as a color wheel or a color triangle.

The Painter's color triangle consists of colors we would often use in art class—those colors we learn about as children. The primary hues are red, blue and yellow.

The Printers' color triangle is the set of colors used in the printing process. The primaries are magenta, cyan, and yellow.

Nine-part harmonic triangle of Goethe begins with the printer's primaries; the secondaries formed are the painter's primaries; and the resulting tertiaries formed are dark neutrals.

Complementary Colors

We look at a color wheel to understand the relationships between colors. Analogous colors are positioned in such a way as to mimic the process that occurs when blending hues. The colors that are positioned opposite one another are complementary colors.

To call those hues in direct opposition to each other "complements of each other" is appropriate. Complementary colors bring out the best in each other. When fully saturated complements are brought together, interesting effects are noticeable. This may be a desirable illusion, or a problem if creating visuals that are to be read.
Note that

Vibrating Boundaries

may occur when opposing colors are brought together.
(Notice the illusion of highlighted edges and raised text.)
Perceptual Opposites. We learn from the relationships displayed by a color wheel that every color has an opposite. Every color has both a color wheel opposite as well as a perceptual opposite. Without a color wheel, it is still possible to find the opposite of a color and this is due to a phenomenon of our eyes. Due to the physiological differences between individuals, everyone's perceptions do vary—the complements shown below are my own perceived opposites:

complementary colors annihilate each other when mixed to create dark neutrals:

Contrast & Dominance

When creating a composition—either something freeform, or a more text based layout, a determination for the final impact of the whole presentation needs to be identified. Is your intent to craft a vibrant, attention grabbing ad, or a presentation with a low, or more moderate level of contrast? These decisions concern what is known as the dominant elements of the design.
The dominant element may be classified as either "contrast dominant" or "value dominant." Designs that evidence contrast dominance or value dominance are then sub-divided into low, moderate, and high contrast, or light, medium, and dark value categories. The choice of colors will enhance or minimize the overall impact.
It is easiest to understand the difference between dominant elements in the following compositions from a distance, or by squinting your eyes a bit. If the proximity between the neighboring hues is less apparent when you squint, the overall composition a displays lower contrast level; if the overall composition appears light, it has a light value. Conversely, if distinctions between hues are very apparent, the contrast is high, and if the overall composition appears dark, the value level is dark. Understanding how the relationships between the colors of a chosen palette will affect the final outcome of an overall composition is integral to mastering the use of color.
Examples of Contrast Dominance

In the examples below, the overall contrast level of a composition changes with the range of luminosity between chosen hues.

Low contrast
Low contrast compositions use colors within a narrow range of luminosity or brightness levels.

http://www.worqx.com/color/images/it...d-contrast.gif
Moderate contrast
moderate contrast compositions use colors within a moderate range of luminosity or brightness levels.

http://www.worqx.com/color/images/it...h-contrast.gif
High contrast
High contrast compositions colors range from very light (high-luminosity) to very dark (low luminosity).
Examples of Value Dominance

In the examples below, the overall value of each composition changes with the incorporated hues' relative saturation.

Light value
A composition made up of tints, displays an overall light value.

http://www.worqx.com/color/images/itten_med-value.gif

Medium value
A medium value composition is made up of a balance between tints, saturated hues, and shades.

http://www.worqx.com/color/images/itten_dark-value.gif
Dark value
A dark value composition displays mostly shades.
