Plants with a split complementary color relationship with Salvia darcyi x microphylla Windwalker®

About Split Complementary Colors

The split complementary color scheme is a subtle variation of the standard complementary color scheme. It uses a given flower color and the two colors immediately adjacent to its complementary on a color wheel. This blend of shades provides good contrast and a harmonious look and is widely used in fashion design. Most people find it familiar even if they don´t know the proper name for this grouping.

In the garden, this is one of the most pleasant color combinations.

Here are the possible combinations for split complementary colors:

NOTE: Because there are no green flowered Salvias, we are including the bract color in our determination of this color relationship.

Yellow Green	Violet	Red

Blue Violet	Orange	Yellow
