Color- When light strikes an object, color is reflected back the the eye. Red, Green, and Blue are the primaries to the addictive color system, which when all three colors are combined it makes white light. Red, Yellow, and Blue are the primaries to the subtractive system, the refers to pigments and dyes.

Color Discord: is the OPPOSITE of color harmony, uses colors from different parts of the color wheel that clash together to create emphasis.
Teal clashes with the orange and red-orange. Teal is not related to either color, lacking color harmony. The color discord is mild so it's exciting rather than unpleasant.

Color Harmony- Color relationships based on grouping like complimentary colors, analogous colors and triad colors.
The color harmony is made in this image by using the split compliment color relationship between red, yellow-green, and blue-green.

Vibrating Color- Colors with equal value and high hue contrast literally vibrate or flicker at the border. This effect is usually conflicting and difficult for the eye to stare at. Vibrating color is stronger with reds more than greens and blues.
The picture above definitely vibrates, almost gives me a headache staring at the image too long.
