Using an achromatic scheme with just one bright color for highlight can be very effective.Īlso, we need to also talk about wearing black and white. A scheme like this can be efficient on an outfit, but it can easily look boring. Using it with pure white or black can be efficient though! This is the only way it can look good!Ī monotone achromatic color scheme is a special instance of the monotone scheme which consists of only neutral colors ranging from black to white. We wrote a while ago an article on the fact that tendencies in fashion are to use only monochromatic schemes, but we would advise you to create your own style and maybe use a glimpse of color. However, in most cases we would advise against using a fully monochromatic scheme, as there is a risk of monotony.
Using saturation and tint/shade variations of a color is always good. Other color combinationsīesides the color combinations described above, which are based on the position of the colors on the color wheel, there are also a few other ways of combining colors.Ī monotone color scheme is just one single hue and its variations in terms of tints, shades and saturation. You can start counting with any color and go from 4 to 4 (in this case), or from 8 to 8 should you be using a 24-color color wheel. Triad color combinations lie at equal distance from one another. The secondary color, as described above, can often be an analog color. An outfit that makes use of analogous colors usually feels harmonious. Often these are color schemes found in nature. The analog colors are those colors which lie on either side of any given color. Of course, some people can choose colors from instinct, but if you analyze the combinations they make, you will see they follow the same rules, just that in an unconscious way.

Choosing colors by looking at the color wheel is highly useful for people who don’t know how to choose colors. Below we will demonstrate some of the most common ways to combine the colors of the color wheel. The color wheel is very useful when you want to combine colors in a way that is pleasing to your and everyone else’s sight. The color wheel is not something used just in art, it is used for clothing too and it’s the result of many, and we mean many years of experience. Usually darker colors are seen as formal, while bright color combinations are seen as sporty and fun.
There are some combinations that go for more formal outfits, while some combinations go with casual or sport outfits. You can and should use these types of colors for every outfit you wear, if it’s a casual outfit, a work outfit, or, of course, a formal outfit. It is common to use a complimentary or split-complimentary color for this (see below) It is usually a color which contrasts more with the primary and secondary colors, and therefore, it should be used with moderation. Highlight color: This is a color that is used to emphasize certain parts of your outfit. It should be a color that is pretty close to the primary color or a color that makes a good contrast i.e. Secondary color: This is the second most used color on your outfit and is usually there to “back up” the primary color. It will occupy most of the area and set the tone for the outfit as a whole i.e black suit Primary color: This is the main color of the outfit. One commonly used rule that you cannot go wrong with in these matters, is to use three colors. On the other hand, wearing just a few colors, makes your look boring, but this does not always need to be the case. Too many colors will make you look hard on the eye, as there is a crowd of colors demanding for attention, so it is really tiring to the eyes. It is hard to give an exact answer to this question, but in general one can say that the risk of using too many colors is greater than the risk of using too few. There are, however, some guidelines that can be used to make a color combination that is interesting and pleasing to the eye. Nevertheless, it should always come down to your personal judgment, and how you look at colors. It is a very refined way of communicating information about you. Through colors, you communicate more about yourself and most people process color interpretation faster than other aspects of your look. Color combination is really an important part when it comes to making a first impression, because it confers a personal touch.
