Not quite green /red but pink is on the red spectrum so hopefully qualifies.

A bit of minimalism today, I loved how this orange buoy stood out against the clear blue water of the Ionian Sea
One of my attempts at this weeks "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Complementary Colours"
Shot with a "Tomioka-Copal 71 mm F 4" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Two colors are complementary when it is possible to reproduce the tristimulus values of a specified achromatic stimulus by an additive mixture of these two stimuli.
Any questions?

I took a pic of my crocus earlier in the week but then saw that that subject had already been beautifully covered (with the same colour combination too), so I decided I'd try and find something else ... and somehow I got to Thursday without posting anything.
I was pleased to finally find this blue and orange when walking on the beach today.
This instrument requires little skill to play, but it takes great skill to play well.

Violet and purple are the bees' favour colours and the Bittersweet flower raises its petals to show everything, including green and white nectar guides that bees probably see in ultraviolet a bit like we do flashing neon. The magic of macro photography helps us admire the flowers, tiny to us at barely a centimetre long, but bigger that most of the little bumble bees I see enjoying them.
In his Book of British Berries, David Lang tells us Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara, Woody Nightshade) has been known and used medicinally for a very long time, and as late as 1934 was a popular remedy for chronic rheumatism and skin eruptions. Children have been poisoned by the fruits but the only 12 cases listed by the National Poison Information Service at that time were mild and recovered fully within 24 hours. He adds that livestock rarely eat it, but some affected animals become addicted to it.

The most flambuoyant and vivacious of our moth orchids this year is one sporting complementary colours, mauve and pale chartreuse. Not sure why one decided to look at the ground. This newer plant has out-performed several older Phalaenopsis for three years, but the sickly ones are recuperating under new LED lights, growing new roots, so I hope they might provide a more diverse display in February to June 2024. Healthy plants like this one are perfectly capable of responding to bright window light.
I have an agenda to educate the Flickr community about colour theory. If I enter this photo in a weekly challenge for complementary colours, an admin might reject it because it doesn't look properly green and red or purple and yellow to them. but these colours are not pressing any boundaries, not roughly complementary, they are precisely complementary.
Red, blue, and yellow are the three primary colours. Purple, green, and orange are the three secondary colours. Between the six there are six more valid tertiary colours including yellowish green (chartreuse) and reddish purple (mauve). If you look at a colour wheel they are direct opposites, perfectly complementary. Mauve understandably causes confusion because our culture treats it as purple, but in fact it's the tertiary colour between purple and red. It's a cool red, but it is closer to red than orange, a secondary colour, which sometimes gets accepted as "red" in the same circumstances where mauve is not. When people insist on following the rules about colour but do not trouble themselves to learn the tertiary colours, I just smack my forehead, then replace the hand with a camera and keep shooting.
But stepping off my soapbox... To make things more difficult, our cameras often have trouble recognizing the colours correctly, especially yellows and reds. In this shot it was necessary to slide yellow towards green to reproduce the natural colour of the flowers. Probably the Canon EOS RP would have done better than the smartphone with this.
Aren't these complementary colours beautiful?
