I need help with color combinations!

It has to do with how the color is being made, additive (light) or subtractive (pigment). The primary colors of LIGHT are red, blue, and green, which is why web colors are given in RGB code. So #005599 uses no red, 33 units (I forget how it's measured) of green, and 99 units of blue to create that light, slightly greenish blue. The primary colors of PIGMENT are red, yellow, and blue, which is why restaurants give out those three crayons to make kids reasonably happy with their color dining experience. Combining the three primary colors of light gives you white, and combining the primary colors of pigment gives you black or brown.

Combining paint, I never could quite get the black, but three flashlights and filters in a dark room is cool. White every time and the kids ooh and ah. Actually, it's the circle thing with the compliments I thought was interesting. I think it would be fun to see how aesthetically pleasing the light circle would be (adding yellow magenta and cyan) with the color opposite. Seeing it from an artist's view rather than science. I'm thinking that if I can put it in this perspective, and talk about accessorizing with the opposites, those kids are gonna remember them. Didn't know about the restaurant crayons either. More cool fun stuff to impart.

Now, has anyone ever heard that you can put any color with green? My mom used to tell me that everything matches green because green grass is the basic color in nature, therefore that makes it compatible with all colors. I should also say that my mother was never, ever wrong, so it's taken me a long time to question some of her "wisdoms". If this is true, then kelly green bar tape would work!
