Clothing with this thing, the color at least play more than half of the role of the color with a good overall look will be more coordinated!
Color matching this thing is said to be difficult and difficult, said simple and simple, the old rules, I try to say a little more simple, so that we can all use.
First, boring but must understand the two basic theories
Practice is the only standard to test the theory, but the theory also guide practice.
1, hue brightness and purity
The famous three elements of color.
Broadly speaking, the color (hue)
The first eye what color is hue.
First look at this color ring, later useful, remember red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple on the line.
Plus black and white and gray:
Color correctness (purity)
is whether a color looks right or wrong at a glance.
The higher the purity, the more correct the color looks; the lower the purity, the closer the color is to gray.
The most common are light blue, medium blue and dark blue:
Ditto for light red and dark red, light green and dark green ……
Is the color bright (brightness)
Does the color feel bright to you?
The higher the brightness, the closer it is to white; the lower the brightness, the closer it is to black.
2, cold / warm colors
Traditionally, red, orange and yellow are classified as warm colors and green, blue and purple are classified as cool colors:
In fact, the warmth and coolness of colors are relative; there are millions of reds and millions of blues, and different reds and blues don’t give the same feeling of warmth and coolness.
So, the colors that make people feel relatively warm are warm colors, and the colors that make people feel relatively cold are cool colors (if you are interested, you can learn about the Y/B tone color theory).
Is light blue warmer than dark blue, which is also a cool color? Understand these two basic theories on the terrific, and some other color basics, let’s in the actual case of specific learning.
2.the common men’s basic color with us from the men’s actual daily starting point.
1. Common basic color combinations
Men’s basic color is basically black, white and gray, the basic color from the theory that can be casually collocation.
We may be a little down on black and white gray, but in fact can put the simple color wear color which is the master.
Black + white
General leg type is not good people are not too recommended to wear white pants, because the white is more expansion of brightness is also high, it is easy to completely expose their leg type.
For ordinary people, the proportion of area occupied by the main color of the whole body is best not to be 1:1 relationship, the main color is the color of the whole body with the largest area.
Although the basic color matching is simple, but also need to consider the proportion between the two colors, different color proportion presents different effects.
Large areas of black are accented with white (1:9):
Black + Gray
You can’t fault the black and gray color scheme.
It’s usually rare to see gray pants with a black jacket.
Gray + White
Gray with white often gives a fresh look.
The 1:1 ratio forces a 50/50 split, and the effect would be better if he had some bright color accents on his upper body.
Black, white and gray
The main color is black and gray, with white as an accent:
White pants really test the leg type, leg thick leg curved OR leg short or do not force.
Black, white and gray want to wear good material and style requirements for clothing is very large, the simpler the more complex, the simpler the more expensive.
Another simple talk about gold and silver, these two colors are very versatile but men’s clothing is not too common, just occasionally appear more in the accessories, in this will not go into detail.
2. Add a color to the base color
All black and white gray is indeed too monotonous.
For just out of the black and white gray rookie speak, in the premise of the basic color only add a color is more secure, I will cite some good with.
Let’s start with basic colors + cooler tones:
- White/black + blue
White plus blue tends to give people a clean and sharp feeling, and the deeper the blue looks the cooler it is, which is perfect for people with large skin color contrasts (skin color contrasts will come later).
Black plus blue looks stable and has a kind of introverted and heavy feeling.
Basic colors + warmer tones:
Black + red
Black will strongly emphasize the red color, wear it well is a very bright set, dark skin can consider reducing the purity of red (meaning not so red).
If the color to be matched is a very positive bright color, I personally recommend that the area of color be smaller, just with bright color accents easy to color (common bright socks and ties and Feng Shui Jewelry).
Basic color + dark camel
The overall color tone is more heavy will be heavier, giving people a mature and reliable feeling.
Blue, white and gray
Although the colors become three, they actually still vary from the base color.
The overall color tone of the set below is on the grey side:
For novice speakers, the basic color with monochrome as much as possible on the shallow down deep, shallow outside the principle of depth.
There are quite a lot of color collocation will not be listed, you can go back and try it.
3, similar colors / neighboring colors collocation
In this place to first simply popularize the contrasting colors / similar colors / adjacent colors / complementary colors, not in front of the reason is that we are afraid to forget.
The matching of similar and adjacent colors is a color combination that is pretty much impossible to go wrong with, but it’s also pretty much impossible to make a statement.
Common similar color combinations:
- Light blue and dark blue
Blue represents the sea and gives an impression of astringency and calmness, so men’s clothing is mostly in blue.
Considering that all blue is boring, shoes can choose brown (blue and brown are contrasting colors):
Yellow and orange
Yellow and orange together, easy to give people the impression of harvest, so the fall clothing with yellow and orange as the common color, in combination with cute socks, looks very energetic!
