The color combination is circular. Color combinations in clothes - color rules

Many fashionistas are afraid to choose an image that combines more than three colors, while others take risks, often making annoying mistakes.

In fact, correctly combining the colors of clothes and accessories is much easier than it seems at first glance. Fortunately, color harmony is subject to laws, which it is advisable for anyone who has difficulty choosing colored clothing to familiarize themselves with.

The fundamentals of color science are based on the theory of the “color wheel,” which represents all the colors visible to the eye.
Selecting colors by contrast is one of the winning options. Considering that this is a circle, draw a straight line-radius through the center of the circle, for example, from green - and it will lead you right to the fuchsia color. This will be the optimal contrast combination.

If you are afraid of the brightness of the contrast, choose dull or pale shades. When choosing contrasting colors, it is advised to choose them not in equal proportions. For example, a suit of dark shades, and red - only a scarf, collar or handbag.

One of the most difficult combinations is the achromatic color palette, when an image is built around black, white or gray, without using other colors.

A more reliable combination in the combination of clothing colors is a harmonious combination. This combination is the most pleasing to the eye; these colors seem to flow into each other, devoid of contrast and challenge.

How to combine colors in clothes correctly

There are six basic color combinations. Each of these can produce an infinite number of different color palettes.

Take the following combination options as a basis: monochrome, complementary and triadic.

  1. In monochrome, consisting of colors of one sector of the circle, combine several shades of the same color.
    A monochrome combination can be diluted by adding a neutral color. Nearby colors on the circle combine perfectly and produce a harmonious and pleasant impression.
  2. With complimentary, where two colors opposite in a circle are used, choose tones that beautifully shade each other and allow the color to “play.”
    A split complementary scheme is a scheme in which one of the opposite colors is replaced by two colors located next to each other on the circle.
  3. With triadic a combination of three colors that are equidistant in the color wheel is selected.
    Primary scheme is a combination of three primary colors (red, blue and yellow).
    Secondary circuit is a combination of three secondary colors (orange, green and purple). They are made by mixing primary colors (red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, and blue and red make violet).
    Tertiary scheme is a combination of three tertiary equidistant colors (red-orange, orange-yellow, yellow-green, green-blue and blue-violet). They are formed by mixing primary colors with secondary ones.

By simplifying it to 12-16 shades, you can more accurately determine the options for approximate combinations. This color wheel is convenient for selecting harmonious color combinations of 2, 3 or 4 colors. In each example, the lines connecting different colors can be mentally rotated in a circle, obtaining new combinations.

2 opposite colors: combination with high contrast. 3 colors: classic triad, colors arranged in a triangle. 3 contrasting colors: two colors are almost related, one is contrasting.

Red+green
blue+orange
purple+yellow



emerald green+yellow-orange+purple
cobalt blue+lime+orange
azure blue+lemon+red
blue+yellow+pink

Example: green+yellow+pink.

Very close option:
4 colors: 3 related and 1 contrasting.
3 related colors: low contrast combination. 4 colors: two mutually reinforcing.


Example: yellow+blue+purple+pink.

Example: lilac + shades of pink.



Example: blue + salad green + pink + warm beige instead of orange.

Examples of color combinations in clothing

Let's look at the color wheel, color combination schemes and simple examples.

Combination of analog colors - a soft, calm combination of three neighboring colors of the spectrum. Choose the main, complementary and accent tone, be sure to use shades of color of different brightness.

Combination of opposites(complimentary) colors. According to color theory, every warm color combines harmoniously with its opposite cool color. These pairs can be easily identified using the spectral circle (color wheel).

Combination of combined complementary colors - a less contrasting version of a combination of opposites. This scheme, when one color is combined with two opposite, close to each other, is perceived by the eye more harmoniously.

Classic triad - a combination of 3 colors that are located at the same distance from one another (at the vertices of an equilateral triangle). It is also worth choosing one dominant color, and the other two shading and complementing the main one.

Rectangular diagram combination consists of two pairs, each of which contains the opposite color and its corresponding analogue. This option is more varied, but requires a precise balance of the main and additional colors.

Color harmony is not limited to 4 color combinations. You can also fit a hexagon into the color circle, the vertices of which will indicate expanded color harmonies. Bright, rich color combinations can be diluted with the help of universal ones - black, white, gray and beige. This is a good way to expand the color range without the risk of going overboard and looking like a rainbow.

Color saturation

The color may be lighter or darker. In other words, color has saturation. To show saturation, the color wheel has several rings; two large rings for dark shades and two small ones for light shades.

Every color can be used in varying degrees of saturation. In the color wheel below, each color is divided into 6 rows - from light pastels to muted ones, with bright and pure colors in the middle.

The most contrasting combinations will be:
1. Bright colors.
2. Pastel and muted colors.
3. Pastel and muted shades of the same color.

Combinations with weak contrast.
1. Between pastel colors.
2. Between muted colors.
3. Between shades of the same color, close to each other in saturation.

You also need to remember that color induction is of great importance for visual perception, i.e. change in the characteristics of one color under the influence of another. If you place dark and light colors next to each other, the dark one will appear darker and the light color will appear lighter.

Scheme No. 1. Complementary combination

Complementary, or complementary, contrasting colors are colors that are located on opposite sides of the Itten color wheel. Their combination looks very lively and energetic, especially with maximum color saturation.

Scheme No. 2. Triad - a combination of 3 colors

A combination of 3 colors lying at the same distance from each other. Provides high contrast while maintaining harmony. This composition looks quite lively even when using pale and desaturated colors.

Scheme No. 3. Similar combination

A combination of 2 to 5 colors located next to each other on the color wheel (ideally 2–3 colors). Impression: calm, inviting. An example of a combination of similar muted colors: yellow-orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green.

Scheme No. 4. Separate-complementary combination

A variant of a complementary color combination, but instead of the opposite color, neighboring colors are used. A combination of the main color and two additional ones. This scheme looks almost as contrasting, but not so intense. If you are not sure that you can use complementary combinations correctly, use separate-complementary ones.

RULES FOR COLOR COMBINATION

Any shopping begins with its flowers. You go to your colors and there, inside the store, look for your styles.

The main thing here is to understand the logic. If you understand the logic: which colors are warm, which are cold, which are summer, which are not, then everything becomes very simple. You look: for example, red, if it contains yellow, then it is warm. Look: blue is cold. Green, if it looks like May greens, is warm; if it is emerald or diluted emerald, or malachite, or pine green, it is cold.

STRUCTURE OF THE COLOR CIRCLE

This is the color wheel. All rules are based on the color wheel. There are three primary colors in a circle: red, blue and yellow. All the rest were obtained by mixing them: mixed red with yellow and got orange; yellow and blue - got green; blue with red - purple. Then they mix red and orange - they get red-orange; yellow with orange - yellow-orange; yellow with green - yellow-green, etc.

In the center of the circle is a pure, bright spectral color, not diluted in any way. For example, for red it is the number 4. Then white gradually begins to be added to it, more and more. The more white you add, the more it washes out and fades through the floral tones to a pale pink. Further towards the number 3, gray begins to be added to the red. And red goes through berry, wine, chocolate shades to coffee.

And so on for every shade. Each ray is a stretch of one color from its lightest shade to its darkest shade.

This is how the color wheel is built. All rules are based on this circle. They are the same for all color types, they only apply to their own colors. For spring - to spring, for summer - to summer, for Winter - to Winter, etc.

MONOCHROME HARMONY

Mono is one. This is harmony within one ray. For example, pink with berry, or pink with chocolate, or blue with blue. The main thing here is to step over several shades, do not take both light shades, both bright ones or both dark ones - they will merge. Like, for example, chocolate and dark chocolate. But if you take chocolate and a rose petal color, or chocolate and a berry shade (raspberry, for example), they will go together.

In monochrome harmony, if we have one shade that is clearly dark, then the other, so as not to merge, we need to take either light or bright. If one shade is chocolate, then the other should be either red, berry, or pink. Monochrome harmony within one ray is built on the contrast of light with dark, light with bright.

OPPOSITE HARMONY

Opposite harmony is rays that are located opposite each other. For example, red with green, violet with yellow, blue with orange. How paradoxical it is, but they go together. And when mixed, these colors cancel each other out. If you mix red and green, you get grey. This rule is used in makeup correctors. Bruises under the eyes are painted over with a salmon-colored corrector, red spots - with a green corrector.

When colors from opposite rays are nearby, they enhance each other. For example, red and green become even brighter against each other, and therefore, when they are taken in their brightest expression, then there should be a lot of one, and a little bit of the other. I think it was in the TV series Sex and the City: a green dress and red shoes, a lot of one, a little of the other.

In Claude Monet’s painting “Poppy Field, Giverny”: green is the background, red poppies are the accent; at I.I. Levitan “Golden Autumn”: Autumn is the background, the blue sky is the accent.

In clothing this can be: a blouse and a pattern on the blouse, a dress and a strap, a dress and jewelry, a dress and shoes, a dress and a bag, i.e. one is much more than the other.

For example, a blue dress, an orange bag or orange shoes. But if you take a red blouse and green trousers, it will be a clownery. But this proportion can be in a softened version, for example, if you darken the red, you get chocolate. Chocolate trousers and a green, emerald blouse - there is a lot of one and the other in area, but this is a softened contrast.

Another example: if you lighten the orange, you get a delicate powdery shade. A blue dress with powder shoes and a bag - a lot of one, a little of the other. But you can also take a lot of powder, for example, a blue dress, a powder jacket - there is a lot of both, because this is a non-contrasting combination, but a more softened one, due to the fact that one shade is taken in a bleached version.

FAMILY HARMONY

Related harmony is rays next to each other, for example, pink with lilac, or blue with lilac, dark blue and the color of pistachio ice cream.

Here it is also important to move along the scale, for example, do not take 2 light ones - they will merge (pale pink and pale lilac, for example). But, if you take soft lilac and berry or soft lilac and chocolate, they will not merge.

Triangle rule

Colors are taken through three rays (red-blue-yellow). If you take warmer shades, then shift the rays by one gamma. But you don’t need to take three colors at once, but only two of them. For example, a blue dress and a yellow bag, or blue and red. But we don’t take bright blue or bright red, otherwise, if we add white, we’ll get the flag of the Russian Federation - very patriotic, but this is not the best combination. Therefore, if we took dark blue, then we take the color of a rose petal with it - more delicate; if we took blue, then we can take chocolate with it (for a blue dress, chocolate sandals).

We always move according to the scale, and try not to take two bright, two light, two dark shades.

More examples of the triangle rule: ocher and violet (if you have a violet dress, it is bright, and ocher is calmer). For number 28 (orange) you can choose from the red-violet range (numbers 91, 90 - deeper shades) or you can go to a different range and take darkened birch (numbers 57, 58).

Number 28 on the scale is orange, you can take numbers 76, 75 (blue) for it. If you have a dark blue (scale number 75) safari dress, with buttons, an orange bag will go with it. And if this is an elegant sheath dress, then you need to take a bag with it that is lightened to powdery - this is the opposite harmony.

RULE: AFTER TWO COLORS TO THE THIRD

You can count from anyone. For example, red: once - purple, two - blue-violet, third - blue.

According to this rule, the Megafon logo was built - a combination of intellectual blue-violet, and green, as the color of harvest, profit, money, etc. And their slogan is “The future depends on you” - for young successful, purposeful people. Those. color is a great source of manipulation, including in advertising.

For example, blue is 66, 67, two to three - this is 90, 91 on the scale.

I'm often asked if color cards are worth buying? I answer: no, it’s not worth it. It features 40 of your best shades. And, in fact, there are a million of them. What is the chance that you will be in these 40? And you will walk and apply: it is not it, a little different - it is not it, but in fact it is your shade. You just need to learn to choose. If you are Spring, then spring shades; if Summer, then summer shades, etc. Understanding the laws of color type will expand your capabilities. I have such a map, I made it when I was studying. I can honestly say that I have never used it. I make examples of color combinations for my clients - this, in my opinion, is more effective and does not limit a person to 40 shades.

Knowing these rules gives variability. I have a blue dress, I can take something for it in monochrome (blue: decoration, cardigan, bag), or I can do something opposite (if the dress is sporty, then I can take it from the orange range).

For example, if your jeans have orange stitching, you can use orange shoes or ocher and orange. This is called color detailing, when one of the colors is repeated somewhere else. One of the colors in the design is repeated in shoes, for example, etc.

If the dress is sporty, I can go straight in orange, if the dress is more elegant, I can go powdery, or I can go not the opposite, but in a related way, in the lilac color or in the other direction, in the color of pistachio ice cream; or according to the triangle rule, go the yellow bag or go in the red direction.

In theory, there should be no more than three colors, not counting achromes.

Achromes are white, gray, black. All colors have shades. Achromes do not have a shade, they only have a level of lightness and darkness, so they can be added to any combination.

When can you take more than three colors? When you have a summer dress with a pattern, and the pattern initially includes more than three colors. A patterned dress can be used for inspiration. You fashion a piece from the design and combine it. Chocolate dress, emerald shoes... Chocolate goes in large quantities to those with chocolate hair and brown eyes. If this is a blue-eyed blonde, then there is no need to take chocolate in a large item, in a dress. Take it in detail - shoes, in a bag, in a belt.

If you take something to something, then it is something you take with you. You remember one shade - it’s a little different, you remember one fit, it’s different. As a result, you end up with things that don't fit together. Therefore, when always shopping, I advise you to take some sets. Not always in the same store, better in different ones, but whatever it was, it was a set, not individually - I took one, I’ll pick something to go with it later.

The influence of flowers on humans is a scientifically proven fact. In order to live comfortably, you need to choose the right combination of colors in the interior. It is not so easy. There are special rules that must be followed in order for the colors to be compatible. There are also ready-made tables that make the whole process easier.

Principles and types of formation of combined colors

There are a huge number of shades of colors in nature. But, as you probably noticed, not all of them look equally good next to each other. Some seemingly unexpected combinations are simply mesmerizing, while others make you want to look away. This is because when choosing flowers for the interior, flower bed, bouquet, clothing, you must be guided by certain rules and principles.

The palette of combined colors can range from two to seven colors and shades

To make them easier to remember, special tools were created - a color wheel and tables of combined colors. Basically, the main tool is a circle, and tables are the finished result of a selection based on it. If you want to learn the basics of color combinations, use a wheel. Otherwise, select an option from the tables.

Color wheel and rules for its use

The color wheel has three levels. It contains the primary colors - red, blue, yellow. They are called primary. Their pairwise combination gives three additional (secondary) colors - purple, orange, green. The third level contains tertiary colors - this is the result of a combination of secondary and primary colors. Based on these colors, a combination of colors in the interior (and not only) is selected.

Color compatibility circle - for selecting basic colors for the interior

As you can see, black, gray and white are not represented in the circle. They do not exist in nature in their pure form; when decorating the interior, they can be used as basic (white and gray) or additional.

Number of colors

Before explaining the rules for using the color wheel, you need to understand the number of colors for their harmonious combination. In general, you can use two, three or four compatible shades. You can also add universal colors to them - white, gray, black. This is exactly what decorators and artists do.

There are many colors, but in one interior they look harmonious. This is because they were chosen correctly - they are combined with each other

But for the interior, two shades are too monotonous and boring. Much more interesting are rooms decorated with a combination of three, four or more colors. However, it is wrong to use colors in equal proportions. One or two of them are chosen as the main ones, there are “many” of them. These colors are used to paint walls and floors; they are present in furniture upholstery and textiles. One or two more are used as additional ones. There are not many of them, but they are noticeable. The rest - no matter how many there are - serve to add variety and emphasis. They are present in small quantities - these are decorative items, pillows, etc. If you take a closer look at the interiors that you like, you will most likely find this pattern in the distribution of colors.

Combination of colors in the interior based on the color wheel

Using a color wheel, you can use it to choose colors to match. They do this according to certain rules. There are several principles for forming combinations:


Using these principles alone, several dozen combinations can be formed. But there are also extremely distant pairs and four colors that can be combined. This also adds to the number of options.

But that's not all. Each of the colors in the circle varies in saturation - from lighter in the middle to darker on the outside. That is, in the selected sector you can select several shades by tone. This combination of colors in the interior is called monochrome. They are also used in design.

Within one color, you can take several shades, add touches of neutral colors - and your monochrome interior is ready

Playing with color is sometimes interesting. And so as not to be too boring, you can use “universal” ones as accents - black, white, gray or red - to taste, depending on the desired mood and purpose of the room.

Tables of color combinations in the interior

It may be interesting to choose the combination of colors in the interior yourself, but due to ignorance you can make mistakes. For simplicity, tables have been created that simplify the creation of the interior. Especially if you know how to use them.

Table of color combinations in the interior - several options

In the color tables, the combination of colors in the interior is given in five to six shades. They must be used keeping in mind the rule. The first shade is the main color, the second and third are additional, the rest are accent colors. This is how you distribute the colors.

In such tables, look in the first position for the shade that you want to make dominant. If you try, you can find three or more options. After all, there are tables that are compiled according to contrast, complementary, etc. principles. So there are many options. For example, in the above piece of tables (in fact, there are a lot of such sheets), there are two combinations for bright blue: 127 and 135. There will be even more of them on other sheets. From the options found, choose the combination of colors in the interior that appeals to you most.

There are tables that have a different appearance: their dominant shade is located perpendicular to the additional and accent ones. The rules for using tables of matching colors do not change. Only the main color is highlighted, making it a little easier to navigate.

Photo examples of interiors indicating the color combination used

The fact that colors affect mood and well-being has been talked about for a long time. There is even such a direction of alternative medicine as color therapy, where various types of disorders are treated by being in an interior with a predominance of a certain shade. So the “mood” of each color is worth keeping in mind when choosing a palette.

Red: matching colors

Red color is very active and aggressive. It is usually present in interiors as accents - to break the monotony of design in white, gray or beige tones. In this case, it is almost irreplaceable - it brings the picture to life very well. You can see for yourself - below are several photos. Red in the interior of a living room can only be done in this way, otherwise the occupants’ anxiety increases, and health problems may even begin.

The main color in this interior is milky white, the additional one is brown and beige, the accents are green and red. Approximately the same range, but for a living room in a different style - here instead of green there are black details, which gives more “coldness” to the atmosphere

A place where red can be the dominant color is the kitchen. Here you need high activity and this color will give you vigor. And, at the same time, it will also increase your appetite.

If you need a similar effect, please choose a combination of red as the main one. As an additional option, it comes with gray, shades of white, beige, and there may be black details. You can still find a little green - in the form of plants or a few details. Other colors are rarely woven in, otherwise the result is too colorful even for the kitchen.

Combination with gray

Gray is a dim, so-called base color that can be combined with any others. For living room interiors, this is one of the best options. There are several ways to create the right combination of colors in an interior with a predominant gray. They take two or three shades from the gray range, add one or two shades of another color and the result is a very harmonious design.

In the photo above, the bedroom interior is formed according to this principle. Light gray in them is the main one, two more saturated shades are additional. Blue (complimentary shades) are used as accents in one case, and pastel pinks in the other.

By the way, brown ones also look good with gray, and if you add raspberry, yellow, orange - warm shades - as an accent, you get a very cozy and “warm” interior that is suitable for a bedroom, a girl’s room, and also applicable to the design of a kitchen.

Gray also looks very good in the kitchen. It is suitable for creating interiors in loft, high-tech, and modern styles. In this room, everything can be even simpler: add one bright shade to three or four shades of gray - yellow, red, orange, blue, green. In one of the bright and warm shades. It turns out to be a very unusual and not at all dull combination.

Crimson and yellow as accents create the mood

In general, gray interiors - with any accents - turn out to be somewhat cold. This is not bad for the kitchen, especially if it faces south. Such combinations are also good in the corridor/hallway. In those interiors where there are at least two warm shades with gray, and the interior turns out warmer, it is quite suitable for bedrooms and living rooms.

Beige and colors combined with it

Beige in the interior is an even more universal color. Like everyone else, it has warm and cold shades, but in any case it creates an atmosphere of comfort and reliability. You can create a monochrome interior based on beige colors. This option is for lovers of discreet interiors. This combination of colors in the interior is typical of the classics.

Beige color scheme with additional brown - comfort and tranquility

If you need solidity, add brown; for greater lightness, any color spots are suitable - as is the case with gray. Add cold shades of color spots to cold shades of beige, and warm shades to warm shades.

For accents, add one or two pops of bright or pastel color, depending on the effect you want to create.

Beige can be chosen as the main one. The walls and floors are then painted in lighter shades. Furniture is chosen darker, but also beige or brown. Add a few accents of bright colors. That's all, the harmonious interior is ready.

Choose colors for furniture

Often, when choosing colors for the interior, they are tied to existing furniture. For such cases, there is also a table of compatible shades. It’s not difficult to work with it: in the right column you choose the color of the furniture, in the middle column friendly colors are written, in the far left are those that are incompatible.

But you shouldn't use every possible color. In addition to the color of the furniture, there may be three to five more colors. At the same time, the basic ones - white, gray, black - also count. So don't overdo it.

Color surrounds us every day and every minute. Subconsciously, we react differently to different colors. With the help of the color wheel, we can learn how to correctly combine different shades in our wardrobe, make the right color accents and always look great.

Consists of 12 colors. There are 3 primary or primary colors - red, yellow and blue. These colors cannot be obtained by mixing with others. Secondary colors are made by mixing primary colors: red and yellow produce orange, yellow and blue produce green, and blue and red produce violet. The remaining 6 colors on the color wheel are obtained by mixing primary and secondary colors - yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, red-violet, red-orange.

Black and white are not included in the color wheel because they do not contain color. But their addition to colors gives us a variety of shades that we use in life. Often on the color wheel there is a gradation of colors - the radius of whitened colors (with the addition of white), the radius of muted colors (with the addition of gray) and the radius of blackened colors (with the addition of black).

With the help of a circle we can determine harmonious color combinations. The first combination is complementary - a combination of two opposite colors. This combination gives a very high contrast, the colors complement and enhance each other. Green and red, purple and yellow – you can find 6 combinations on the circle.

A split (separate) complementary combination or related-contrasting colors is a scheme where one of the opposite colors is replaced by two adjacent colors on a circle. This combination gives interesting variations. For example, green, red-violet and red-orange; purple, yellow-green and yellow-orange and so on.

The third combination is a triad. This is a combination of three equidistant colors (at the top of the triangle) on the color wheel. The primary scheme is a combination of the primary colors - blue, yellow and red. The secondary scheme is a combination of orange, green and purple. Tertiary scheme - a combination of tertiary colors, this is red-violet,
blue-green and yellow-orange, the second triad is red-orange, blue-violet and yellow-green.

A very pleasant and harmonious combination - monochrome. This combination of shades of the same color always looks very elegant and noble. For example, green, herbal, emerald, mint.

The next combination is related or similar colors - 2 or 3 adjacent sectors in the color wheel. They look very harmonious, calm and
inviting, there is no bright contrast between colors. Example, blue, blue-green and blue-violet.

Another color combination is the use of colors of the same brightness level. For example, you can use any shades that are on the same radius on the color wheel. For example, pink, blue, mint, lilac.

There is also another combination on the color wheel - a rectangular scheme or tetrad. This is a very complex combination in which you need to be extremely careful and maintain a balance of the primary and secondary colors. This circuit uses 2 pairs - the opposite color and the corresponding analog one. For example, green, orange, blue and red.

These are just the basic combinations that can be found using the color wheel. You can also fit a square or hexagon into a circle, but using such variety and contrast you need to have a good sense of color and maintain balance without turning your image into a rainbow.
