This example picks a foreground color, computes its complement in the "artist's color wheel" to produce a purple color and then darkens it to use it as a background color:

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

local fg = wezterm.color.parse 'yellow'
local bg = fg:complement_ryb():darken(0.2)

return {
  colors = {
    foreground = fg,
    background = bg,
  },
}
