The Primary Colors

Color Your Way to Fashion: Tips on Colors in Fashion & Jewelry

Primary Colors: Red, Yellow, and Blue

The primary colors are your new best friends when it comes to mixing colors. You must be familiar with the all-too-common shades of blue, yellow, and red. When mixing and matching bold colors, your knowledge of primary colors will come in handy. Do you want to channel the all too popular get-up of snow-white with her striking yellows and blues? Or maybe you want to settle for a color that's a stand-out on its own? You can get stunning looks and high fashion with these three colors by wearing gold jewelry items. But of course, there is a particular color group you need to be more familiar with.

The Secondary Colors

Color Your Way to Fashion: Tips on Colors in Fashion & Jewelry

Secondary Colors: Purple, Orange, and Green

Next to the primary color scheme is the secondary color line. Why is it essential to be aware of secondary colors in fashion and jewelry? Well, simply because these secondary colors are natural complements of the primary colors! Yes, the best way to mix and match colors is to know which other shades complement them best. The following secondary colors are direct opposites of the respective primary colors if we look at the color wheel. Let's delve into how this works when blending fashion pieces and accessorizing.

a. Red's complement is Green

Ever wondered why red roses and luscious green leaves printed on a dress always look so good together? These two striking colors are very classy to the eyes, a combination you can't resist. The reason is that green complement the red color. If you are planning to stand out in a sexy red midi dress, combine your look with a pair of lovely emerald earrings or a sophisticated peridot midi ring. If you wear a green skirt with a white top, match it with a stunning bold red choker. You will never fail in these combinations.

b. Purple is for Yellow

No, we're not rooting for the Los Angeles Lakers here, but whoever orchestrated their uniform sure has excellent color combination skills. You see, if you are a fan of yellow or a fan of purple, you will be delighted to know that these photos sure complement each other perfectly. The bright, eye-catching factor in yellow pieces often are balanced by the purple accessories. If you're planning to rock that yellow summer dress hiding in your closet, make sure you're ready with a fun and girly amethyst necklace! Or, if you are going for a fall-appropriate purple coat, pair it with a necklace in luscious yellow shades!

Yes, that bright, tropical color is perfect for your blue clothes and accessories. If you're a fan of denim, you can pair them with a summer-inspired orange bag. The combination may sound odd, but you can mix and match your light blue fashion picks with dainty orange jewelry pieces like a feminine beaded necklace or fun drop earrings! Who would have thought these colors go so well together?

Choosing your Colors

Color Your Way to Fashion: Tips on Colors in Fashion & Jewelry

The main tip to remember is: if you want to make a bold statement, don't hesitate to go for your primary colors. Red, blue, and yellow pieces are certified show stoppers, and there's no denying that. If you want a little extra to your look to make it pop, you can throw in some secondary colors, making you the center of attention. Think of red and green, orange and blue, and purple and yellow. These color combinations are indeed shouting, "Hey, notice me! "However, we don't usually want to be the center of attention, right? Sometimes, we appreciate a subtler color combination that may not make us look like a statement fashion maven but will help us look as presentable as ever. No, we don't always need the yellow and purple dress and accessory combination. What's the solution? For this dilemma, you still have the tertiary colors to turn to. These stunning colors offer more outfit combinations that will make you look as fashionable as ever!

But how about neutral colors?

Color Your Way to Fashion: Tips on Colors in Fashion & Jewelry

You may wonder, "How about clothes that are neutral in color?" You may think that they are on the "safe side" and look perfect with anything. However, that is not always the case. Although colors work rather well with neutrals, certain shades work perfectly on them. Imagine a neutral dress in cream. You can make it more eye-catching with a deep pink necklace or a simple gold choker. If you're into scarves, you can match a deep burgundy shade with a cream base.

How about your gray fashion pieces? If you're an office girl, gray may be your everyday staple. What are your best color choices? First, determine the undertone of your gray suit. If it tends to be on the cooler side (blue), you can mix it with orange accessories or colors considered triad shades of blue. If your suit is of a warmer tone, reds and yellows complement the suit entirely. Your everyday color will look more fascinating with colors that complement and contrast!

Basic Rules for Finding Color Complements

Color Your Way to Fashion: Tips on Colors in Fashion & Jewelry

1. First, determine the most dominant color in your outfit. For example, if you're wearing a red sweater with a tan skirt, the dominant color among the two is the red top. If your dress is printed, find the dominant color by identifying what stands out the most. If still unsure, try the squinting method and determine if your outfit is cool or warm-toned.

2. If you already know the dominant color, refer to its complementary shade in the color wheel.

3. If you're not yet sold, try to look at the triad colors and base your accessorizing on those. Once you've found the best shade that complements it, you're done!
