A split complementary choice is a palette that is made up of 3 analogous colors (side by side on the color wheel) and one contrasting (complementary) color. For example: yellow orange, orange, and red + blue. The contrasting color provides an emphasis in the focal area. In this painting, the contrasting color is on the shadow side of the boat and repeated in a more neutral hue in the buildings.
Split complementary color schemes provide a feeling of harmony and unity. Choose your own combination and try it!
