Hello everybody!
Today I’m
going to talk to you about colours. Sometimes colours can be a little
overwhelming, but today I’m going to try and make it easier for you.
As you know
there are three primary, three secondary and a whole bunch of tertiary colours.
On the wheel of Johannes Itten, the primary ones are in
the middle, surrounded by the secondary colours.
Because
colours can be overwhelming, it is sometimes difficult to choose what colours
to combine with each other. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to get the hang
of it. Based on the colour wheel, I will show you a few easy ways on how to
pair colours with each other. There are three sorts of colour schemes I am
going to talk to you about. Let’s start with the complementary colours, these
are the ones on the opposite side of each other, so for example: yellow and
purple, orange and blue, red and green.
Next up are
the analogous colours. These are groups of three colours that are next to each
other on the colour wheel.
And
finally, there are the triadic colours. These are three colours that are
equally spaced around the colour wheel.
All of
these colour schemes are easily to incorporate into your outfit choices. You
can only use the colours of a colour scheme, but you can also pair them with a
neutral colour. Here are a few outfit examples:
 |
| Khaki Structured Tote Bag Burgundy Sheer Dip Hem Shirt Black Button High Waisted Jeans |
 |
| Blue Vanilla Purple Wrap Top Mid Pink Ribbed Mini Skirt Khaki Wool Oversized Fedora |
 |
| Camel Double Breasted Coat Red Scallop Hem Double Layered Dress |
I hope this post gave you some inspiration to try new things or to try new combinations!
Talk to you soon!
