COLOR CHOICES

 3 points to consider ! 

Not so dark or shouting colors like sky blue, pale beige pink, and light grey do this for us. Those with dark color preferences can go for navy blue other than black.
The best colors for an afternoon event especially a sunny one are those that protect us from heat or those that make us feel more What is your favorite color? Is it almost more than half of your wardrobe? Does it always look good on you?                                                                                   

These are all questions you answered but maybe not the last one and this is because you are not sure. It is not obvious that your favorite color will always look good on you and that you have to wear it so often. Choosing what color to wear depends on a whole lot more than that and that is what brings us here today for a discussion.

1.Skin color or tone.

 Dark skinned people are always matched with colors that pop like gold, red and not dull one like grey, black and brown since they don’t bring out one’s skin more of dark skin dissolving in them. Cool colors like blues, grays and silver are harsh on dark skin. (they don’t look so good on them.

 For medium skins color, blue and green looks great because it puts the skin color to the light. However, a medium colored person can where possible avoid brown and orange colors as these wash out their skin complexion due to close resemblance.

Finally, the light skins. These are favored by cool colors like red and pink or dark colors like black also do very well. Gray is dull but not as much on a light skin and therefore recommended too. shouting colors like yellow and purple wash out complexion and instead of these especially for parties, one can go for gold or silver. Green too can work though it is cloth material dependent to pull off.

2.Occasion attended

Another way to determine which colors to wear is using the occasion type that is being attended as most people dress up according to this mostly. In this case we talk about presentations, party, funeral, picture, first meet up and travel occasions.

For presentations cool blues, purples or any solid color that compliments one’s skin tone and does not collide with the background on screen.

Parties are occasions of happiness and therefore welcome warm colors like yellow, orange, pink and red. Metallic colors like gold and silver also work here. However, in these case skin tones should be minded as explained above.

Funeral occasions require that one is dressed in mourning colors as they bring out the spirit in the function. These are purple, brown, black and white also depending on culture and of course the key factor skin complexion.

 For Photography pictures, deeper greens, purple and blue can do. For neutral, one can go for grey or black though grey is preferred. Black and white too combined work good magic. Orange in most cases in the worst to choose in these case.

First meet ups like dates, interviews require a good first impression and that can if well-chosen create one. For interviews, Navy and gray are the best to choose from. They put out an image of seriousness and responsibility. Black, purple, red, pink and white also work for other meetups like dates. They send different messages that are positive like strength, royalty, calmness, purity and love which pull attention of the person to want to know more about you and dig deeper for that message in you.

Travel occasions demand that one chooses colors that will make their travel photos pop. These colors include bright yellow for happy memories, bright red for sexy trips, hot pink for beauty and white for adventure.

3.Time of the day

At the start of the day (morning hours) all we need is that fresh feeling, peaceful with no darkness in our souls and therefore cool, comfortable for example, white which is not so good at sun protection but one of the most comfortable for an afternoon. Black attracts heat but it is good for protecting one from sun rays and therefore it works good for afternoons though it might cause discomfort especially on very hot afternoons. Blue also protects one from sun rays but comes with less heat absorption unlike black. It also looks good shining in blue on a sunny afternoon.

At night it is better to wear colors that match the darkness of the night like black, navy blue and other dark colors. These help one not to stand out and be spotted easily from a far like the night time is supposed to be.With this, we can say don’t choose which color to wear depending on which is your favorite, you need to look beyond and if you have paid attention to today’s session and are going to follow what it says, you will know which colors look good on you, be able to fit perfectly in an event and be outstanding fashion-wise in your community especially if you learn about how to blend these colors to make an outfit in the next session.CLICK HERE
