  • “Complimentary Colors are a heartfelt mystical slumber party with your witchy bff "

    - Wulina, Shady Pines Radio

  • “Complimentary Colors music is a sweet salve for the soul. Their live performance is a powerful force for peace, bringing the room together and painting the atmosphere with a sense of softness and attitude. Hopping from one instrument to the next, they weave their sets masterfully into a flowing tapestry the crowd can cozy themselves in and find warmth. You can hear and feel the harmony."New List Item

    - James Seminara, Grumble and the Ghost

  • “CC is a beautiful mix of whimsy and empowerment. Their intricate three part harmonies, clever percussion arrangements (from typewriters to patty cakes!), and thoughtful songwriting coalesce to create a unique and down right transcendent experience.”

    -Trent Price, Crystal Canopy

  • "It’s hard to keep from smiling while I’m watching Complimentary Colors. Is it because of their beautiful, well timed harmonies? Is it the lighthearted banter they have with the crowd and each other that proves the comfort in their craft? Is it because I know they’re truly wonderful people and it’s satisfying to see them being their best selves in front of an adoring crowd? Well, yes."

    - The Werewolf of Shady Pines

  • "You walk barefoot down a mossy dark path with friends in front and behind you. The air is cool but not cold, the moon is full. There is laughter and musing as you wander through the green, smelling woods and wonder. Ahead is warm, welcoming light. A living room in the forest to sit, to think, to dream. The soundtrack to your escapade is percussive, gentle. Heartbeats and wind chimes. In the glow you are overtaken by the sounds of sirens, not taking you to your demise, but leading you to a an ethereal exploration you can't come back from. You are changed."

    - Mummy Bison, Shady Pines Radio

  • “Complimentary Colors are unapologetically human. Their music resonates because it's fun, quirky, while still embracing the beauty and healing found in the dark parts of our lives."

    - Abby Rose Art
