Color Matching: Classic Options
Pastel colors go well with each other - light green, pastel pink, beige and milky are well combined with each other. But try not to use more than two primary colors (including all their shades) in one look so as not to look ridiculous.
The best option is a combination of neutral shades with a bright accent. For example, a white blouse or dress can be matched with a brightly colored belt, while gray or navy jeans look great with bright t-shirts.
Your outfit may consist of halftones of the same primary color in varying degrees of brightness. Saturated and muted tones of red, brown, beige, milky and cream give excellent color matching.
Another wayuse the laws of color to your advantage - this is a combination of gray, white and black elements of clothing with bright accessories. Black color makes the outlines of the figure more strict, and with the help of white you can add volume and splendor to the forms.
Two contrasting colors in one look will give it freshness and originality. Contrasting colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. At the same time, the compatibility of colors according to the principle of contrast does not always look catchy and eccentric.
