The right combination of colors with other colors allows you to look harmonious, and even hide some of the shortcomings of the female or male figure. For example, a white blouse in combination with a gray, black, blue skirt is a classic that allows you to visually narrow the wide hips that many girls have. Accordingly, the reverse composition - “light bottom and dark top” - can somewhat mask excess volumes in the upper part of the body. A completely dark silhouette will make the figure slimmer, but at the same time emphasize its contours (they are not always perfect).
The combination of colors with other colors is often built on their location in the so-called “Newton’s circle,” where the main tones are blue, red and yellow, and the intermediate are shades of green, orange and purple. It is believed that red is opposed to green, yellow is purple, and blue is orange. Therefore, they are used to create dynamic images that attract attention. To create an everyday wardrobe, it is recommended to use colors that are close in tone in Newton's circle. This combination of a green sweater with blue jeans or a red and orange dress with a coat of sand dune color may be appropriate.
If you have your favorite colors, but do not want to look the same from head to toe, the combination of colors with other colors will help revitalize the image if you take different shades of the same tone. For example, the deep color of myrtle can be combined with emerald and complemented with accessories in tones of lime and mint. The image will look noble and very fresh.
The combination of colors with other colors largely depends on the amount of clothing that is on the person. The fewer products and accessories (for a woman it can be, for example, a blouse, skirt, tights, handbag, shoes, jewelry, scarf, hat, cloak or coat, umbrella, etc.), the easier it is to choose the right colors and accents. Depending on the total number of colors, simple scales are distinguished (up to three colors inclusively participate in creating the appearance) and complex (four or more colors).
Note that for a business and evening look, as a rule, beautiful combinations of colors in two or three tones are used. For example, a strict silk blouse the color of baked milk can be complemented by a brown-golden skirt, gold jewelry and a beige handbag. But the beach, romantic and creative style allows a greater number of colors. Optimum is the presence in the clothing of no more than three primary colors and one additional in accessories. A larger number leads to excessive "diversity", which is not always appropriate.
Unfortunately, the universal color combination table cannot be compiled because for each case, you need to choose one or another coloristic solution. Stylists first of all pay attention to the individual characteristics of the person for whom the wardrobe is made. Here, of course, the type of appearance ("spring", "summer", "winter" or "autumn"), the characteristics of the figure, age, lifestyle, profession, as well as the event for which one or another set of clothes is selected are taken into account .
