This illustration has various color harmonies. The triangles within the sunglasses shows a triadic harmony between the primary colors: red, blue and yellow. These colors are evenly spaced on the color wheel. Though there is high contrast, there is still a balance between the vibrant colors. There is also a complementary harmony between the bright red within the person's hair and the dark green of the plants. These colors are across each other on the color wheel. The brightness of the red hair is definitely balanced by the green because it does not cause too much tension to the eyes.
