Default All about Complimentary colours.
I found this website a while back when i was doing an assignment at University - its a great help for anyone thinking about Corporate Identity colour schemes.

Just Ask Jeff: What are complimentary colors? What's a color wheel?

Complimentary colours are like this:

Blue: "Hi there Red, you're looking particularly shiny today."
Red: "Why thank you Blue, and might I say that you've got a great hue on you. What do you use for that? Faber Castel?"
etc...

Your link is about complementary colours.

Oh it really does matter. You've might have created a complimentary business card for a logo, but in fact wondered why your clients refuse to pay?
