Color Matching: Classic Options
Pastel colors combine perfectly with each other - light green, pastel pink, beige and milk combine well with each other. But try not to use more than two primary colors (including all their shades) in one image, so as not to look ridiculous.
The best option is a combination of neutral shades with a bright accent. So, you can choose a belt of bright color to a white blouse or dress , and gray or dark blue jeans look great with bright t-shirts.
Your outfit may consist of halftones of one primary color of varying degrees of brightness. Saturated and muted tones of red, brown, beige, milk and cream give excellent color matching.
Another way to use the laws of colorization to your advantage is a combination of gray, white and black elements of clothing with bright accessories. Black color makes the shape of the figure more rigorous, and with the help of white it is possible to add volume and splendor to the shapes.
Two contrasting colors in one look will give it freshness and originality. Contrast colors are colors that are located opposite each other on the color wheel.
