Another reason they are called complementary is because, theoretically, if you mix 1:1 ratio of those colors together they make each color duller, making it gray. Have you noticed? Red + Green are Christmas colors, but outside of the holidays, they seem to go so well together.

Now, you FFA-ers must be wondering why Yellow + Violet, Red + Green, or Blue + Orange isn't a tertiary color combination? Well that's because all those combinations are opposites of each other and they are called complementary colors. Notice how everything is using Blue, Blue-green, and Green? That's a way to apply the color scheme to your wardrobe. This is a super easy example for you to show and see what I'm trying to explain to you all. This is a color wheel exampleĪnalogous color schemes are very popular in fashion as well. Analogous colors schemes are color schemes that take three colors that are next to each other in the color wheel and make something out of them. One color scheme that is definitely something that is always used in fashion, and something that is super easy to apply is called analogous color scheme. Now that you have some of the basics of the color wheel, let's add a little bit more information. This is a color wheel showing the different tertiary colors. To make tertiary colors, you take primary colors and mix them with a secondary color. Now, we will move on to the tertiary colors. Orange, Green, and Violet are 3 Secondary Colors whereas Red, Blue, and Yellow are the 3 Primary Colors.

Red, Blue, and Yellow are the 3 Primary Colors. Well, you FFA's must be wondering what's up with this rainbow? Well, there are 3 primary colors that make up all the rest of the colors in the rainbow. (albeit not a very good one, but I'll try to find a better picture, or just paint one myself :\ but this will just get my message across for now) So you must be wondering, what is the color wheel?

I am currently an art student but every artist should know about the color wheel and how to manipulate colors essentially, a colored wardrobe is what that is-manipulating colors successfully to bring out the best look possible for different colored people. I will disclaim that I know almost absolutely nothing about fashion, but what I do know is about colors and the color wheel. Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and FragranceĪs a long-time lurker of FFA, I've been noticing a lot of posts about if this color works with another color.
