When using red, blue and yellow in a designer's theme for a room the color harmony is called a double-complementary.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The color harmony created by using red, blue, and yellow in a designer's theme for a room is actually called a triadic color scheme, not a double-complementary. A triadic color scheme involves using three colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel, such as red, blue, and yellow. A double-complementary color scheme, on the other hand, involves using two pairs of complementary colors, which are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. Since red, blue, and yellow do not form two pairs of complementary colors, the statement is false.

By incorporating vertical lines in the room's design, Jack can fulfill his client's needs.
