Split-complementary colours are a variation of the complementary colour scheme. In this scheme, instead of using a single colour's exact complement, you choose the two colours adjacent to its complement on the colour wheel. Listed below are colour combinations that will help you choose colours that complement each other. Complementary Colours Deliberate, forthright, careful and cool, it ranges across a riot of interior worlds." A reviewer's words, but spot-on for me.

The Luminaries is one type of story, The Colour another, so it is not doubling up to read both, trust me. What they do have in common is New Zealand Gold Rush, with heinous behaviour, deceit and avarice lavishly drizzled over. Fully recommended.

We have used the idea in the story to help the children with their emotional development. There are large colour monster displays containing pictures and words in each classroom so the children can add their name card to the emotion they are feeling. At a point during the day, an adult will offer to discuss how the child is feeling, particularly if the emotion is a negative one.The historical detail is worked into the story well, and there's a good sense of place with some evocative descriptions (although one key setting--the Hurunui gorge--is left almost entirely to the reader's imagination, as if it were intended to be more metaphorical than real). And the writing is good. There's something opaque about it, though: scenes that seem intended to have some great symbolic or metaphorical meaning that was not evident to me. Maybe the point was that life doesn't always make sense or turn out well--it's a melancholy book--but there's something rather distancing about Tremain's vision or her writing style that I didn't feel I entirely understood. Despite being a historical novel set in Victorian New Zealand at the time of the 19th century gold rush it has, even more than Music and Silence or Restoration a dreamlike atmosphere. Johannes Itten – a painter and teacher associated with the Bauhaus school – was the first to place twelve colours in a circle: the primary colours red, yellow and blue, along with the secondary colours and tertiary colours. Itten suggested that the circle could be used to construct harmonious colours, a selection of colours that are pleasing to the eye when paired together. Itten’s colour wheel: a circle of colours that divides hues into primary (in the triangle at the centre), secondary and tertiary colours. What can you do with the colour wheel?

This was a great story, with, for me, unforgetable characters to which the author gave a lot of depth. We wanted to create a 'sensory-balanced' workspace that was both socially sustainable and adaptable'We get a glimpse of life in this historic time – farming and ranching life, neighbors, indigenous people, Chinese immigrants, travel by ship and over land. It is an absorbing story. The ending is satisfying. I just loved it and am adding it to my favorites. By mixing red light and green light, for example, we can see yellow. If all three are mixed together we see white light.

The book has a syrupy pace, any one moment full and rich but in no hurry to get to the next and a persistent strangeness - in a word, dreamlike. Summed up by the central image of the cob house as a symbol it suggests something strong and rooted naturally this turns out not to be the case - inexpertly constructed by the novel's central male character as a couple's 'starter home'. A couple from England have migrated to New Zealand, plainly they are trying to escape the past and seize dreams - the gold fields call to the man's imagination, so as you can imagine the action of the book concerns real energy and effort expended in pursuit of the insubstantial. A colour wheel is a tool used in art and design to show colours and their relationship to each other. This is one aspect of colour theory.Additive color is light created by mixing together light of two or more different colors. Red, green, and blue are the additive primary colors normally used in additive color systems such as projectors, televisions, and computer terminals. And then the author sort of goes beserk. She adds a dash of completely ill-fitting magical realism in the relationship between a young boy and his Maori nurse; a soupcon of homosexuality; a thimbleful of early feminism; etc. etc. Since our perception of colour is greatly affected by factors such as light and surrounding colours etc, even an apparently achromatic colour can reveal surprising complexity and ambiguity. A brief glance at a Fired Earth paint chart might leave the impression that there are several identical whites but closer inspection will reveal almost imperceptible but important differences.
