“Color can calm and excite, create harmony and shock. You can expect miracles from him, but he can cause a catastrophe "(c) Jacques Vienot

Clothes color combination table

A good image is often the result of a good color combinations in clothes... Not everyone succeeds in correctly combining colors in clothes, because this is a whole science based on special principles. If the colors are combined unsuccessfully, a feeling of incorrectness, disharmony is created. This feeling cannot be described in words, because it is not so much associated with the concepts of fashion and style, as with the physical laws of color perception.

Theory

First, let's take a look at the color characteristics. There is such a thing as pure colors. Pure colors- these are basic bright and clear colors, like in a rainbow. If we add white to these pure colors, we get Tint(shade) - light, desaturated tones. If we add gray to the pure colors, we get Tone(key), with each gradation giving a different key. Adding black to the pure colors, we get Shade(shadow). This will make the pure colors darker.

Practice

Let's look at the basic principles of color combinations in clothes in practice, that is, using the example of images from the catwalk and from street fashion.

1. Mix strong and neutral colors.

Combining rich, vibrant colors with neutrals is always a good idea. But there is one caveat - black is also a neutral color, but the combination with it may look too harsh.

For a subtler, sophisticated color combination, don't make black dominate the look, dilute it with other neutral colors. Neutral colors are those that can be easily combined with any other color. In addition to the traditional black, white, beige and gray, you can also add dark blue (especially in combination with denim) and natural leather to their number.

In this photo, red is combined with three neutral colors: black, white and beige.

Neutral colors are a great tool to add more color to your look because they don't count when talking about the famous rule of “no more than three colors in a dress”.

When you combine several neutral colors with one saturated one, you get the opportunity to create an image that looks very colorful and fresh.

This look combines neutral colors with rich greens.

Here we see a combination of rich mustard with neutral navy blue and black. Dark blue softens black-yellow contrast.

Neutral shades such as gray and beige can be combined with pale pastel shades such as pink. This look creates a soft harmony and, at the same time, reduces the risk of you looking like a tart.

If desired, you can combine light neutral colors with neons.

But avoid pairing a basic beige ensemble with a neon splash like in the look below. Remember to always look sophisticated. To stand out, mix different neutral colors like the girl in the picture above, adding a leather belt to your look.

Even though all of the looks shown contain only one saturated color, keep in mind that a neutral-colored garment can soften an overly colorful look.

In the photo you can see a combination of three colors. The look might be too flashy, but the gray tweed coat softens it.

2. Combine complimentary colors.

The second principle of color matching is to combine complimentary colors. Complementary colors are those at opposite ends of the color spectrum. Each of these colors makes the other brighter and more saturated.

The best way to combine these colors is to add one of them to an outfit, mostly consisting of another complementary color.

If you want to go for color-blocking, do not make the image too "loud" - let one of the colors in the color-blocking be less intense than the other.

Style icon, fashion editor Giovanna Battaglia has combined mustard yellow with a less intense lilac color.

Color blocking, where colors of the same intensity are combined, often look too rough and caricatured. Compare the image below with the image above, and you will understand which one is more refined and noble.

You can, of course, choose colors that, at the same intensity, will look harmonious in combination with each other. But these colors must be such that in black and white photography they reflect so much light that they appear to be shades of black and white.

In the photo above, Elisa Nalin has combined a neon yellow skirt with a deep blue. But if the color was not blue, but bright blue, this image would not look so elegant.

In this look, colors are combined according to the principle of equal intensity described earlier. Dark green and pale pink are a charming duo.

3. Combination of different shades of the same color.

The third principle for combining colors is combining different shades of the same color. You can use this principle in relation to the entire outfit or just one part of it.

4. Match similar colors.

The fourth principle of color matching is the combination of similar colors. These colors are adjacent to each other in the color spectrum. One of the closest colors is always part of the second.

For example, green is blue + yellow. Therefore, blue and green or yellow-green are closely related colors that can be worn next to each other.

Natalie Joos expertly mixes red with orange and even adds two complementary colors - different shades of blue.

Color gradation

Color scientists managed to create entire tables and systems for the formation of harmonious pairs of shades and colors. When creating a collection of clothes, craftsmen carefully study the color compositions.

Did you know how colors dramatically affect people? Color creates a particular mood, people form a certain opinion, get an impression, a reaction due to the effect of different shades.

Thanks to the color palette, we can understand which colors are perfect with each other and which are not.

Division of colors from pastel to rich. Warm and cold shades:

Using this spectrum, you can easily compose images that include from three to five tones. The main colors are red, blue, yellow. All others are considered to be derivatives of the mixing of the main ones.

When 50% of the two primary colors are used, the following secondary colors are obtained: green, orange, purple. Changing the percentage will result in many other shades. There are several more ways to find shades that are harmonious to each other, let's take a look at them.

The principles of combining shades

-Achromatic combinations imply gray, white and black as the base color. These colors complement each other perfectly, as do the rest of the spectrum. This look involves the use of bright color accents: a scarf, brooches, shoes, bags or jewelry. Many women like to give preference to this option. Any errors are excluded here.

- Monochromatic combinations- a combination in one image of different tones of the same color (from light and pastel to the darkest). Try to combine different shades of one color that suits you in clothes, for example: from deep emerald green to pale light green or from pale pink to dark burgundy. The scheme is quite simple, but it looks very elegant. To avoid uniformity in the outfit, add neutral colors (gray, white, black). Or, you can pick up textured fabric instead.

- Complimentary combinations are color combinations using contrast. The pairs of red and green, yellow and purple, blue and orange are the most popular contrasts. A similar combination for a bold person, because these colors are hard to miss.

- Triadic combinations is the use of three colors that are equidistant from each other on a color scheme. With this model of combining shades, a bright contrast is created, but the colors are in complete harmony.

1) use main scheme- this is the use of three colors (red, blue, yellow);

2) during secondary circuit use derived colors (orange, green, violet);

3) for tertiary scheme combinations with tertiary colors (obtained from mixing the base color with the derivative) are used. For example, it can be images with orange-yellow, yellow-green, red-orange, green-blue, violet-red, blue-violet color combinations.

What to wear with what

So, what colors can you safely mix, and what you need to be careful with:

• usually a successful combination is one in which there are from two to four colors, but not more than that. Plain clothes look too boring, and the excessive use of bright colors causes irritation, distraction of attention, anxiety;
• the color scheme should be in different proportions. If there are three colors in your style, then one must prevail, the second emphasizes and sets off the previous one, and the third emphasizes the details of the image;
• colors such as black, gray and white are versatile and work with all vibrant hues. They are also considered basic in the image. And as a complement to them, colorful, colored details are needed. Black elements add up to winning combinations with simple, clean colors. It can be orange, yellow, blue or red;
• harmonious is a combination in which related shades are present (for example, purple with blue and blue). Contrasting colors also look great: purple with yellow, green with red, and so on. Your figure will look even slimmer if you make sure that the bottom is one to three shades darker than the top;
• you can always successfully combine pastels of any shades. Whitewashed peach, lemon, blue, pink and beige will look unique with each other.

Experiment with colors to make it look stylish, effective and tasteful!

In any situation, ladies strive to look beautiful, bright and stylish, because a decent appearance is the key to success. However, choosing the right flawlessly tailored items from the latest clothing collections is only half the battle for a girl who is puzzled by her search for the perfect outfit.

She will also have to study the general rules for combining colors in a wardrobe so that the images are stylish, relevant, effective and memorable.

In this matter, the fashionista will be helped by the color combination table and mini-tips given in this review.

Fashionable images with red color

If a girl has the courage to wear red clothes in everyday life, then the admiring glances of passers-by on the street have long become a habit for her. Not only a sense of inner confidence and freedom helps her to be in the center of attention, but also a competent combination of colors in clothes.

It goes well with red with black and white. These combinations are real classics. They can't be a losing proposition, so they are used by stylists to create images of celebrities heading to a premiere or social event. However, you should not limit yourself to color block combinations. Red looks great as a bright accent against muted blues, grays and dusty pinks.

Color combinations of things in wine shades

Marsala, burgundy, sangria - this season fashion has generously endowed girls with the choice of the perfect shade of wine for basic and formal outfits. Despite the fact that these colors on their own look expensive, rich and self-sufficient, it is rather difficult to combine them with other shades in images.

To keep the showiness and slightly "dilute" the wine onion, it is worth purchasing high-quality items of black, white and gray colors. If such a classic solution seems boring to a fashionista, she can safely experiment and add pastel, milky or coffee-colored clothes to the bow.

A good color combination for women who prefer shades of gray

As one of the basic colors, gray is very widely used by fashionistas to create beautiful looks all year round. However, the love of monochrome does not mean that all outfits will turn out to be dull, boring and monotonous. If a girl has a table of color combinations in clothes at hand, she will be able to find the answers to her questions herself and learn how to make excellent combinations, guided by the prompts.

For example, the basic gray pullover will shine in a new way, complemented by an elongated straight-cut skirt in the current greenery shade. Accessories for such a spectacular bow can be kept in a laconic style and be presented with a thin golden belt and nude pumps.

How to match colors in clothes of noble blue

A girl can choose any shade that emphasizes the beauty of her appearance, from sky blue to bright indigo. It is worth combining blue with ivory clothes, as well as with things of soft pink, white and yellow.

Other combinations are also appropriate. For example, it is worth trying on an image in which a laconic turtleneck without an intense blue decor is complemented by a white skirt with a yellow animal print. The bow looks very unusual, especially if you correctly emphasize the idea with the right accessories. In this case, it will be a leather clutch bag, massive bracelets and stylish watches.

The combination of colors in pink clothes: what the table suggests

Pink outfits don't have to turn a girl into an over-the-top barbie. Skillfully combined, they look luxurious, emphasizing the natural beauty and natural charm of every woman. To create sophisticated looks, you need to act wisely. Having studied the table, the first step is to remember the successful combinations, and then try to apply the knowledge gained in practice.

Looks perfect looks in which a rather bright pink shade is combined with white, blue, lavender and beige things. In these outfits, you can go anywhere - win the heart of the chosen one on the first date, impress your work partners in the conference room, or walk around the city in the gentle setting sun.

What mustard clothes look good with for women

Soft, warm and cozy mustard shade is often chosen during the cold season. He makes winter looks casual, relaxed, but at the same time preserves their authenticity and style. To look spectacular with a mustard outfit, do not use mono combinations. A competent combination of things will help to dilute the saturation, and to place accents in the bow.

So, a mustard thin sweater that perfectly fits the figure should be tucked into a dark purple pleated midi or maxi skirt. This outfit will be complemented by the use of golden accessories - bracelets, wristwatches with a massive dial or fashionable necklaces.

Winning combination of colors in denim clothes: photos with examples

For quite a long time, the combination of several denim items in one set, at least slightly different in shade, was considered a sign of bad taste. But in the current season, such a decision is a fashion trend that can be seen on world catwalks. Models proudly parade in sky blue denim shirts that are tucked into blue jeans and still look amazing.

You can repeat the image in everyday life. Fortunately, this is very simple to do, because every fashionista has more than one denim item in her wardrobe. These can be denim pants, capri pants, shorts, sundresses, tops, shirts and other clothing models.

Color selection by season - winter 2018 color wheel

Completely black looks, without bright accents, also remain at the peak of popularity. Having given them preference, the fashionista does not have to complicate her life by thinking about how color is combined with flowers.

Red and blue

On boring gray streets, empty with the onset of frost, images with combinations of black and burgundy colors will look elegant and festive.

In summer, no one wants to look dull, boring and inconspicuous. Therefore, young girls and successful ladies are happy to listen to the advice of stylists and choose the most successful combinations for their wardrobe. In 2018, they are represented by the following list.

Coco Chanel said that the most successful color is the one that suits you the most. And it’s better to say it’s simply impossible, but sometimes it’s difficult to do it.

In our wardrobe there are always things of different colors, but it can be difficult for us to make them go well with each other. Even if you try to wear clothes of the same color, you may not achieve color harmony. Each color has different shades. But if you study a little color harmony, then you will learn how to easily find matching shades and choose the right clothes.

It is important to learn the science of how to combine colors in clothes and be able to create a harmonious image in order to show something in a favorable light. Different shades interact with each other and turn into different color combinations. By using the right color combinations, you can enhance interiors, clothes, and a host of other things.

There is a color theory that can help anyone to come up with the right color combination. Having learned what colors to combine in clothes, you can choose clothes with ease. This skill is quite important, especially if you shop on the Internet, because in them you cannot stand in front of the mirror and see how this or that thing sits on you. To learn how to match colors, you need to take a color wheel and study it carefully.

How to use the color wheel

The combination of colors occurs according to certain rules. The artist I. Itten created certain color schemes that are most suitable for each other. He placed all the colors in the circle in such an order that they were separated according to the degree of primacy and interacted with each other.

This circle was created to make it easier for novice artists to work with colors. They were able to find out which shades are combined with each other. This color wheel helps all people who are involved in creativity, including fashion designers.

The enclosed space of this circle contains colors - from basic to secondary and tertiary. Many shades are formed from the primary colors - red, blue, yellow. The more the colors are mixed, the more shades are obtained. To accommodate the full spectrum of existing colors, a sphere with even more shades is placed inside the circle.

Creating color harmony

If you look at the basis of the color composition, you can see how the colors combine with each other. There are many different combinations that are combined into certain patterns that are not repeated with each other. To build a particular scheme, several tones are taken, which are mixed with each other. With the help of Itten's circle, you can build harmonious combinations. Let's see how this can be done.

You can build color harmony from several colors in the amount of two, four, six. The two-tone color harmony uses the same and contrasting shades. It is important for beginners to learn how to combine different shades of the same color.

It is enough to take one main color and try to match a shade of the same color to it. Clothes of the same shades will give nobility. In order not to be mistaken, it is better to choose shades that are distant from each other. Your clothes should not merge, otherwise it will look unattractive.

A combination of different colors that contrast with each other in the color wheel will look no less attractive. Take orange and combine it with blue for a nice color contrast. Red against green will also look attractive. But in order for the color of the clothes not to scream, not to dazzle too much, it is best to take some color as a basis and add a little contrast to it.

When creating tricolor combinations that are similar to each other, you need to take the colors that are located next to each other on the color wheel. In color harmony, this is called the analog triad. In tricolor harmony, adjacent colors and similar color schemes are usually taken, which are in harmony with each other. It is also important here to choose those colors that will not merge with each other.

To create the classic three-color scheme - the triad, you can use an isosceles, equilateral triangle. You must select three equidistant colors from the circle that are in harmony with each other to create a triangular geometric shape.

Here it is important to highlight the main color, and the other two should be present in small quantities and complement the main one. From primary colors, you can take red, blue, yellow, from secondary - purple, green, orange. You can combine colors along the line, using both adjacent colors and additional shades.

Try to inscribe a geometric shape in Itten's circle - a rectangle and a square. In a square pattern, choose 2 or three similar colors. If you take different ones, then you risk looking ridiculous. For example, you can get a four-color consonance of the following colors: purple, blue with a green tint, yellow and red with an orange tint.

In a rectangular pattern, two pairs are chosen that contrast with each other. And here you have a lot of space for your imagination. However, you should be careful, otherwise the colors will dazzle, and your image will be too flashy and ridiculous. This will not happen if you match three shades to one base color. You can even insert an equilateral hexagon into the circle, then you get a harmony of six colors.

All these schemes, as well as a table of matching colors, will help you make the right choice in clothes.

Correct color combination in clothes

It is better to take dark as the main color. For dark basic things, such as suits, jackets, trousers, skirts, light ones are selected.

Clothes should not be allowed to resemble "the outfit of the fairytale hero Petrushka." And this will not happen if the color of all clothes is in harmony. If you want to get a contrasting combination, then you should not choose equal proportions of colors. In color blocking, always choose one bright color and the others not too much. Combine bright colors with pale, expressionless and your image will not look ridiculous.

Flashy clothing tones will balance neutrals. However, not all neutral colors can be used. If you take black, then you should not select bright colors for it, since it is saturated in itself.

When you choose clothes in neutral shades, you can safely choose 3 things in the same color, but no more. To make the image bright, you should choose one bright color and several neutral ones.

Beige and gray tones will favorably set off the appearance against a pastel background. This combination always creates softness in the image.

Sometimes it can be difficult to determine which colors go together. In this case, you can use the advice of stylists on how to choose the right colors. There are win-win options that can always look great when applied.

Our attractive appearance will depend on how we correctly combine colors in clothes, see the photo so as not to be mistaken. Red always looks bright and makes an image delightful, but you need to carefully choose clothes for it.

No other color should stick out of red, so choose neutral tones - beige, gray, milky, pure white. Pinks and lilacs will also work beautifully against a red background. Red clothing is typically combined with brown, chocolate, blue.

When you choose a yellow outfit, then choose something light for it, something that creates tenderness. If it is ocher or orange, then it will also look attractive against a yellow background. Pastel colors with yellow are good combinations, but only if the former are not so bright, but a little muted. If you want to contrast with the yellow, go for a red or black tone, and possibly turquoise.

If you are wearing a thing of a cold green shade, then match it with something in a light gray color, as well as blue, cream. Green in a warm version will be in harmony with blue, brown or beige. Peach, apricot, heavenly shades with warm green will create a delicate look.

When choosing a pink color, you must consider whether it is cold or warm. Choose something mint, light green, pale lilac, amethyst or even blue jeans for a warm shade. If pink is cold, then other tones should be light and neutral. Shades of mint and jeans will look good.

A huge variety of other shades can be matched to brown, but green, blue yellow and reddish tones are most suitable.

The burgundy color can be saturated with olive, bright gray or dark green. Red will also work only if it is complex or has a berry tone like blueberries or blackberries.

Turquoise colors will adorn if they are paired with light yellow. Orange or plain white. A fuchsia shade also looks great against a turquoise background.

Coral shades are successfully set off with beige, flesh, gray. Rose and lilac tones can also be added to coral. Try something dark brown, light yellow, navy blue, or khaki as well.

The color wheel and photos of matching colors will undoubtedly help you in the selection of tones in clothes, but you can do it on an intuitive level, based on your taste. If you know how to choose the right combination, then you can always look great under any circumstances.

We take into account the style

It is not enough to know how to correctly combine colors in clothes, you also need to take into account the style and occasion in order to look harmonious.

Business ladies should not wear a wide variety of colors in their clothes. You should always adhere to the rule that there can be no more than three shades. Although, of course, it is sometimes allowed to use more, but they should be closer to each other. Business style standard colors are white, black, navy blue, gray and beige. But if you choose different shades of these colors, then it can look great too.

In a classic style, the number of colors and shades used can be increased, but only as long as it looks elegant. Therefore, catchy tones should not be used, unless it is red, which, by the way, is also considered classic. So choose darker shades. Of the light ones, white, beige, gray, cream are suitable for this style.

There are many color variations for matching evening wear. The main thing is that it should create a vivid, noticeable image that will stand out from the crowd. The correct color scheme will help to highlight the merits of the figure. Black evening gowns are classics, but any dark shades will work here as well.

If you want to look bright and creative and emphasize your creative nature, then choose bright colors that look non-trivial. Here you have a wide choice. You can choose any bold combination, but still you should try not to overdo it and not make the image too colorful. Six tones will be enough, feel free to add black to other tones, it will look attractive.

Everyday clothes should be light and rich colors. Everyday outfits should be functional and elegant. Brown, red, gray, blue, terracotta will do this and create a pleasing look. You can choose a light tone, but you should not take too light, let it be with a slightly gray tint.

For a romantic style, pastel shades and their combinations are chosen. And beware of using tones that are too dark, or you risk looking gloomy. Light colors can be complemented by any bright ones that correspond to the general palette. Prints will add femininity and highlight romance.

Common color schemes for sporty styles include darker grays and blues. Recently, however, stylists have been adding bright, saturated shades to this style. Glowing neon colors have become very popular in sportswear, so you can safely choose them.
