Hello hermosa!

Chromatic Circle


The chromatic circle begins with 12 colors.

Several more colors of them fan out from these, which are actually its variants and have similar temperatures of each one.
  
Colors can be classified as warm or cold. Warm colors have gold undertones, while cool colors have silver undertones.

An other important thing when it comes to fashion, we must already take into account the skin tones when we think about dressing up.

As basic information, you have to know that if you have a cold skin tone, cold tones colors will stand out best and if your skin is warm, the best for you will be warm tones.

After knowing this, the interesting thing about using the color wheel begins.

Color theory accounts for basic color harmonies: monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic.

Monochromatic Combinations

Monochrome combinations are made up of shades of a single base color. 

This color can be of any of the range, not just neutrals like black or white.

monochromatic combinations green
monochromatic combinations purple
monochromatic combinations neon green

    Complementary Combinations


Complementary colors are right across from each other on the color wheel. 

There are six complementary colors on the wheel.

This type of combination is very common to see in the fashion world, because visually they are very striking.

It is usually a very bright color with one a bit dull or warm and cold.

        Analog Combinations


Analogs are three colors that are next to each other in the circle and can be confused with monochromatic combinations. 

Almost always one color predominates.

This type of combination is the easiest to apply to outfits.

Triadic Combinations


The triadic color scheme uses three equidistant colors around the color wheel. 

They can become very vibrant combinations, such as purple, blue and yellow.


I know that if you think about it, the question may arise as to whether these combos will look good.

That's why I'll leave you these images:

triadic combinations purple and yellow
triadic combinations pink, blue, orange
triadic combinations blue, red, green


It is important to emphasize that this is only a technique to be able to make color combinations without worrying that the colors do not stay together.


Just remember that fashion is about experimenting, getting out of our comfort zone and having fun!
