Free Haiku-7 Wind God and Thunder God Screen
By Tawaraya Sotatsu. Japan’s National Treasure. On the gold screen, the green wind god (holding a bag that traps the wind) on the right and the white thunder god (having a drum that generates lightning) on the left are powerfully and humorously lined up. However, the red thunder god stands out more in the painting because it is his complementary color...

colour wheel of primary and complementary colours.
SATURATION is achieved by “contaminating” a hue with its complementary color -- the color which is opposite it on the color wheel. In the top row we have RED and its complement CYAN.
If a small amount of cyan (red’s complementary color) is added to the red hue, the red begins to change. It begins to turn gray. This is called desaturation.
The more cyan that is added, the grayer the red will become.
When equal amounts of cyan and red are mixed together, there will be no trace of either hue; only gray will remain.
If you keep adding cyan, so that there is more cyan than red, we start to move toward cyan.
Any color will desaturate (or turn gray) by adding its complementary color.
