There are many poetic definitions for a particular shade. To verbally convey what kind of tone is involved, it can be compared with anything - with vegetables, with fruits and berries, precious stones, and even with a shade of the sea or sunny sunset. The pomegranate color is so beautiful and poetic. Consider what it is, its various shades, with what they are combined and who are suitable.
Pomegranate color: description
Turning to a few Russian dictionaries, one can read about pomegranate that it is dark red, cherry, with the presence of blue, the color of pomegranate seeds. But those who ate these grains (and, therefore, saw them) will say that pomegranate is different. They can have a hue from light pink to deep maroon.
Then you need to think about what else has this name? Men, of course, will remember the military grenade, that is, explosive ammunition. Incidentally, he has a feminine gender in Russian.
But women will understand that we are talking about a precious or semi-precious mineral used in jewelry. It is usually saturated deep red in color, and is also named after the amazing fruit plants. So, all the same, garnet color is a burgundy hue, having an admixture of bluish, which gives it depth and saturation.
These synonyms are found in the description of pomegranate : crimson, burgundy, ruby, dark ruby, crimson, cherry. Or such a poetic definition: pomegranate resembles a shade of hot blood that gives us vitality.
Warm or cold?
In order not to be mistaken in choosing the most suitable color for you, you need to know what kind of shade is warm or cold.
Since all perceptual colors are divided into warm and cold, then they must be combined according to the same principle. The color of the flames is considered to be the warmest - orange, and the coldest shade of ice blocks - blue, is perceived most coldly.
However, not everything is so simple in determining “temperature”. It would seem that blue, blue and green colors - cold in essence, and red, pink and yellow - should be warm by definition. But all colors due to the variety of shades can be both warm and cold.
Pomegranate color - derived from red. But if you determine the "temperature" of this entire spectrum, then the burgundy has a cold structure, as well as the saturated color of fuchsia. But pomegranate is a warm, and even, one might say, a hot shade.
For blondes
Pomegranate color is noble and beautiful. No less beautiful and charming blond women. Is it possible to combine them into one?
Of course, red is a winning color for blondes. Such a girl in red will not be left without attention. A fair-haired charming woman is not forbidden to strengthen it to a rich garnet-red hue, only if you are the so-called warm blonde.
If you are lucky and the blond color of the curls came to you from nature, and in addition you still have light porcelain skin, blue or gray eyes, then most likely pomegranate is not your color. For gentle natural blondes, “snow queens”, it is better to choose other colors in clothes or use classic red.
A garnet color will look good if your hair is light brown, ash or platinum. All this will be even more beautiful in combination with skin of a warm golden or peach tone. Support the garnet color in one or two accessories and in the same lipstick. The image will be bright, bold and sexy.
For brunettes
Brunette can also be divided into “warm” and “cold”. In this case, it is better to determine the color type. For example, a “cold brunette” is the owner of blue-black hair or curls with a dark chocolate tint and ashy shimmer. The eyes of these girls are green, blue or hazel, and the skin is pale, transparent and does not tan well. In this case, a bright pomegranate color will unnecessarily emphasize the lightness of the skin, giving the face a painful appearance. Therefore, it is better to avoid it.
“Warm” brunettes have golden or even dark skin, and copper, chestnut or straw tint is present in the shade of their hair. Bright eyes can be brown or black. Such brunettes even need to wear garnet color. It will perfectly emphasize their bright personality and give shine to the eyes.
For red
The same principle applies to red-haired girls. Separating them into “warm” and “cold” helps to choose the best combination of colors for their clothes. If the shade of red hair you are not too bright, the skin is light and bright eyes - then you are a red-haired girl with a cold tint. Red suits you, but not as bright as pomegranate. Among its shades, it is better to give preference to soft salmon, burgundy or cold raspberry.
But the red-haired beauties of a warm type, who have bright hair color and golden skin with freckles, you can safely, without hesitation, apply bright, pomegranate color in your clothes. Moreover, the curls can be from saturated dark copper to fiery red (it is good that modern staining offers the widest selection of bright colors). The pomegranate color in clothes is your winning option, and it certainly suits you.
Pomegranate hair color
Well, if you are a passionate fan of this shade (it is possible that this is a temporary phenomenon), then you can paint your hair in it. But first you need to understand whether it is suitable for you. Maybe it's better to choose a different shade of red for your hair?
Before staining with pomegranate, it is very important to understand what color your skin is. Eye color does not play a special role. We are again talking about the "warmth" or "coldness" of the skin tone.
To do this, resort to a little trick. In good daylight, look at the inside of the wrist. If the thin veins that you see are bluish in color, then your color type is cold. In girls, the warm color type of the vein is usually purple.
So, following the golden rule of combining warm colors with warm, and cold with cold colors, we proceed to the choice. If your skin is light, rather pale and your color type is “cold” (the most common in our country), then when choosing a red shade for hair, it is better to focus on burgundy, scarlet, ruby or fuchsia.
Pomegranate, red with a red tint and chestnut-honey are most suitable for the shade of “warm” skin. The darker the skin tone, the more bright red, brick red or garnet color goes to it.
Other options
Having dealt with your color type and finding out what suits you, it is worth considering what color the pomegranate color is combined with.
One of the most noble and bright is the shade, which includes a little blue and brown in equal proportions. Due to the fact that pomegranate is warm, it is necessary to select warm colors for it. What can they be?
A great combination of pomegranate colors - with neutral ones like black, white and gray. Its presence with white in equal proportions will balance the image and make it elegant and festive. Black with pomegranate will give an image of sexuality and make it fatal. Warm light gray color perfectly sets off the brightness of the pomegranate and gives it even greater depth.
It is worth considering combinations of pomegranate with tones such as light pink, warm blue or beige. But a good combination of pomegranate with green shades will be difficult to achieve. Here, perhaps, the greens of the emerald shade are suitable, and the grass paint will be a too clumsy combination.
Pomegranate Jewelry
The preference to wear such a stone in jewelry indicates the good taste of the owner. Pomegranate is the general name for minerals in various shades, from yellow and greenish to deep red and opaque black.
It is named so because the structure of the mineral is similar to pomegranate grains. The most classic is the red stone - pyrope. It looks great in gold and silver. It goes well with pearls, and cubic zirconias, and of course, with diamonds.
Rings, pendants, earrings, garnet-colored bracelets are classic jewelry that does not go out of fashion. They give their owners confidence and activity. Wearing jewelry with pomegranate, you can feel that the relationship in the family has become more harmonious.
For those who have not met their soul mate, it is also nice to wear something with this gem, because it is believed that it attracts lovers. Jewelry with pomegranate is recommended for active, passionate people, since red mineral is not suitable for calm people.
What is it talking about?
People who like to wear garnet color have certain personality traits. Thanks to its brightness and expressiveness, the same can be said about people who love this shade. They are vibrant individuals who like to be in the spotlight. No wonder in the days of Ancient Rome, toga with bright garnet elements could only be worn by representatives of a privileged society.
Pomegranate carries a huge charge of energy and passion. People who prefer it are very assertive and active, they can be vindictive, engage in narcissism. But at the same time they remain hardworking and self-confident, they always try to strive forward.
Pomegranate is essentially a hypertrophied, deep red hue. Therefore, it can be safely associated with love and passion.
