Note:
Black, White, Gray, Tan, and Brown are not separate colors on the
color wheel, but are made up of different percentages of red, yellow and
blue.
Core Color: the principle item in you ensemble, like your suit or sweater.
Accent Colors: second and sometimes third colors. To produce harmony between the core and the accent colors you can choose one of the following strategies:
- Triad: three evenly spaced colors around the color wheel
- Complementary: two colors that are opposite each other
- Analogous: colors that are next to each other
- Monochromatic: a lighter and darker version of the same color
Note: Shades of white, black, gray or tan work well with all colors or may be worn together.
Note: Don't use more than 3 dominant colors, otherwise you will look like a clown.
Here is a guide, but only a guide:
Note: Nature has amazing color combinations. Take inspirations from it.
