Background: According to Kirk (2016), typography will have a significant role in your visualizations. You have to be careful with your text, but you must also be concerned with how the text looks. This then leads to color and functional harmony. You must provide the balance of colors in your visualizations (Kirk, 2016). The harmony of colors you select during design will impact many aspects of the overall visualization.

Deciding which color to use when coming up with a text is a quite a challenging endeavor. A person has to consider a lot of factors before settling on their preferred color scheme. Complementary colors are any two colors that appear to contradict each other within a color spectrum (Nuwer, 2012). Combining complementary colors in most cases results in them canceling each other and gives rise to an entirely new color. Examples of complementary colors are red and green or blue and orange. One of the benefits of using complementary colors during typography is that it helps elevate the level of contrast and, at the same time, creates a sense of stability.
