When choosing a wardrobe or home interior, the first thing you want to observe is a combination of colors. Harmony can even make the simplest decoration of a room or a discreet outfit exquisite. To combine colors perfectly, you need to know which ones are suitable for each other, and which ones can never be used in one concept.
Correct color combinations
There is a color wheel, which is divided into 12 sectors. Each is divided into shades from light to dark.
This circle can be revealed to every woman by simple truths:
- White shades are combined with any color and make them richer.
- Black will shade a different color and make it deeper.
- It is better to combine 2, 3, maximum 4 colors at the same time.
To make the image spectacular, you should combine the colors that are located in the color circle opposite each other. For example: purple and yellow, red and green, dark blue and bright orange.
Make a list of basic colors and those that will be combined with them perfectly:
- White looks great with black, red and blue.
- Black combine with coral and gently blue.
- Gray is the perfect match for flashy shades: fuchsia, violet, dark pink.
- Pink is best combined with soft shades of blue, olive and green.
- For fuchsia, pick delicate shades: lime, mint, light brown.
- With red dark shades of blue, green and burgundy look better.
- Cherry combine with light shades: azure, sandy, pastel.
- To the dark shades of brown fits gentle lemon, purple and pale pink. And to light brown pick a bright green, blue, red.
- Beige and yellow also like bright combinations: purple, purple, red, fuchsia.
- Green and blue are best combined with pale orange, white and azure.
Each color has hundreds of shades, some do not even have a name. If the dress is multi-layered, then designers do not advise combining several colors in it at once. If a person prefers to wear monophonic clothing, then it can be diluted with bright accents in the form of accessories.
Why do you need to know your color type
Each person should know their color type for the selection of additional colors and combinations. First, remember your natural hair color and look at the color of your skin at the mirror. Cold tones are suitable for people with fair skin, dark hair and dark eyes.
Warm tones resemble blondes and red with dark skin and light eyes. If the skin is pinkish or peach, you should also prefer warm tones. Color not only creates mood, but also dictates a person’s lifestyle. The texture of the fabric is the final accent. Of great importance is the perception of the person himself, as he sees his image as a whole.
Color types are summer - blonde with light eyes and pale skin, winter - brunettes with dark skin and dark eyes, spring - brown-haired women with light eyes and peach skin and autumn - red or brown hair, green eyes and light skin.
Consider colors that are ideal or not suitable for a particular time period and color type, respectively:
- Spring - light and light colors: beige, mint, pink, pastel. Eliminate dark and contrasting colors.
- Summer is neutral and muffled. Delicate shades of yellow and green. Exclude: black, burgundy, orange.
- Autumn - the depth of color is important: brown, rich yellow and orange. Avoid black, pink and fuchsia.
- In winter, choose blue, gray and silver shades. Delete: beige and pastel colors.
On a note! Such a classic as a “little black dress” or a bright wedding dress will suit any season.
