Even though I, as every other student, learned basic color theory as little kids, I had no idea there were so many terms that related one color to another. Analogous colors start with two primary color bases and then include the mixtures between them. Complementary colors can be split such that two colors can stand for one: a light orange and light green contain red and green respectively, which cancel each other out, leaving only the yellow in the orange behind, which is the complement of purple.
Alpha channeling is interesting because it sort of bends the mechanics of color theory in order to produce a transparent effect by changing what combinations two colors will make. I had no idea that that's how transparency worked, at least with alpha.
This picture FTW!
