Does anyone know the word for?

Pushpin, your post called to mind a painting I saw once, which was of a vibrant Prussian-blue sky at dusk, behind a house with glowing golden windows. I wish I could find that image again so I could share it with you, because it really is a beautiful image! It was an American painter. Not Hopper... not Homer... maybe one of the Wyeths? I will check again. Anyway, I like this new word! Thanks for the thread.

I am not able to find the one I was thinking of, but this one--"Yellow House, Full Moon" by Suzanne Siegel--is similar:

Wow, even looking at this painting is calming. I wonder if it is because the colors are complementary.

According to this article,

"Complementary colors, when used together in color schemes, are especially dynamic and pleasing to the eye. This is because different types of cones (the photoreceptor cells in your eye that contribute to color vision) perceive different colors of light.... A combination of two complimentary colors may be perceived as soothing or balanced, since it simultaneously stimulates different parts of the eye.
 
I think you are right Pushpin, the complementary colors are really relaxing. I also like that the house has a solitary situation near the water, it is just the sort of place I would love to inhabit!

I'd like to live in a similar place, too! Somewhere by the water. Just a small house with a small garden that I tend to. And lots of space between me and my neighbors. I could wake up and just sit alone by the water.

I've also thought about living in the desert because I like the colors there, too.
