How many pairs of complementary colors are there in the 12 color ring?

The 12 color ring has three pairs of complementary colors.

1, equivalent red light+green light = yellow light, which is complementary to blue light;

2. Equal amount of red light+blue light = magenta light (also called magenta, that is, light magenta), which is complementary to green light;

3. Equal amount of green light+blue light = green light, which is complementary to red light.

If one of the three primary colors is equal to other colors to form white light, these two colors are called complementary colors. Complementary colors can block each other. So we can know the following three pairs of complementary colors: yellow and blue, red and cyan, green and magenta.
