Complimentary Colours

I have taken a photo and changed some of the colours in it to show an example of complimentary colours. When looking at the colour wheel I noticed that Purple and Yellow are complimentary colours. I wanted this photo, taken in Nottingham's Market square to become a bit creepy, I imagine if you put this building in the right setting it could become quite foreboding. I have made this image much darker, The building itself shines golden like I imagine a castle should but there is a contrast created by the complimentary purple used to create a dark look. This is emphasised by the now dark sky.
This building can be found at the entrance to Nottingham University near Lakeside, it is part of their Eco project.


I have added the colours orange and blue as these are complimentary colours.
