Color Matching
Learn how to match colors like a fashion pro!
Primary Colors
Primary colors are the building blocks of all other colors! There are three primary colors: Red, Blue, and Yellow. These colors are special because you cannot make them by mixing other colors together. However, you can mix primary colors to create all the other colors in the rainbow!
Tip: Primary colors are bold and eye-catching! Try wearing a red dress, blue jeans, or a yellow top for a vibrant look.
Complementary Colors
Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. When you put them together, they create a bold, exciting look!
Purple & Yellow
Red & Green
Blue & Orange
Tip: Use complementary colors to create outfits that really pop! Try a purple top with yellow accessories, or blue jeans with an orange shirt.
Warm Colors
Warm colors remind us of sunshine, fire, and heat! They include Red, Orange, and Yellow. These colors are energetic, exciting, and perfect for making a bold fashion statement.
Tip: Warm colors are perfect for fall fashion and sunny days. Try an orange sweater or a yellow dress to brighten up your look!
Cool Colors
Cool colors remind us of water, sky, and ice! They include Blue, Green, and Purple. These colors are calming, relaxing, and great for creating a peaceful, sophisticated look.
Tip: Cool colors are perfect for spring and summer fashion. Try a blue dress or green accessories for a fresh, calming look!
Color Harmony
Color harmony means putting colors together in a way that looks pleasing to the eye. Here are some easy ways to create harmonious outfits:
Monochromatic
Wear different shades of the same color — light pink with dark pink looks very elegant!
Analogous
Wear colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, like blue, blue-green, and green.
Neutral + Pop
Start with neutral colors (white, black, gray, beige) and add one bright color for a pop!
