Here is a little bit of how complmentary vibrations work....
Complementary Vibrations - This optical mixture is made from opposing or complementary hues. In a very fine pattern, a complementary pair such as yellow and violet would neutralize each other in the same manner as they would in a pigment mixture. If a courser textured mosaic is formulated it is called a complementary vibration. Our eye wants to see complementary colors simultaneously for visual balance. However, when we do see the pure complementary hues simultaneously something unexpected occurs. The complements seem to repel each other causing an illusion of movement or visual vibrations. Difficult to stare at for any length of time. High saturation (pure) opposing hues vibrate in the most dramatic fashion.
