Notes on Complementary colour mixing

Complementary colours placed next to one another seemed to provide the most aesthetically pleasing contrast; with each colour enhancing its opposite. Unfortunately, when complementary colours were combined they yielded ugly greyish results.  Even with the addition of white, I was not able to produce any lovely colours, though it was an improvement.
