Each time I ask any LLM what the complementary color to red is. Then I always get green as answer instead of cyan (With cyan being the only correct answer). And a completely wrong explanation about what complementary colors are based on digital screens.

🀦 Oh... oh wow, I was giving you way more credit than what you actually meant. You do realize there is more than one color model? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors#In_different_color_models You probably should read the explanation about complementary colors based on digital screens that they are providing to you (or just pay attention in elementary art class), because you might actually learn something new.

Red Yellow Blue and Cyan Yellow Magenta are both subtractive color models. RGB is an additive color model.

Try giving the LLM the hex color code and the color model you're using that code in, and it will give you the correct complementary color.
