Complimentary Colors
Delacroix was one of the first artists to use compliments as shading
See the painting
The Death of Sardanapalus.
1827-1828. Oil on canvas.
Eugène Delacroix (French, 1798-1863)
And discovered the compliments are really in the shadows.
This picture actually has very limited use of color with only shades of similar colors.
