A better use of complementary colors would be to use the complementary
colors of the texture in the shaded area. I.e. if you want to create a
really dark shadow in a green area, use a red tint in the shadow (note: this
trick is frequently applied in pencil art). An obvious problem is
calculating complementary colors on the fly...
