Part 1.

Red/Green.

Orange/Blue.

Yellow/Violet.

Part 2. All pictures taken from my records.

The bright warm colour of the amaryllis lifts it out from the dark blue background.  This was achieved by having colour opposed to each other on the colour wheel.

This is a field of linseed flowers.  The picture is meant to mirror the blue of the flowers against the blue of the sky.  Having so much green allows the flowers to lift out from their background.  Normally blue would not stand out against green as they are next to each other in the colour circle but here it is the lightness of the blue flowers that gives the contrast.

Back to Nice for this one.  The florescent colours doing what they are designed to do; stand out.  The lime green, in particular, clashes with the colours either side of it.     

In this orchid picture the softness of the pinks and greens have a calming effect.  The exact opposite of the one above.  Everything about it is soft, from the texture and colour to the lighting.  Being opposites on the colour wheel the flowers are lift out from the leaves.
