The combination of turquoise and orange is a meeting of two elements.
Orange brings warmth, energy and joy – it awakens the senses and mobilises us for action. Turquoise, on the other hand, calms, stabilises the emotions and ensures order and balance.

Following Chevreul's simultaneous contrast, these complementary tones interact in a unique way. When placed next to each other, they reinforce each other's saturation and temperature, creating a shimmering tension between calm and energy.
The dominant turquoise brings out the richness of the orange like a cool depth – through afterimage and color contrast it intensifies its radiance and makes the picture a place of harmony where opposites meet and highlight each other.
