First of all, let's understand what contrasting colors are?
When two or more contrasting colors are matched together, it will make the visual impact, instantly attract the eyeball, and have a stunning visual sense. This is the charm of contrasting colors.
Today, I share 6 sets of the most classic contrasting colors. Whether it is street style, retro style or minimalist style, I hope everyone can find the contrasting color aesthetics that suits them.
01. Klein blue + bright yellow
(Suitable for cool and warm skin tones)
Klein blue, known as the "ideal blue" tone, and bright yellow like the sun, form a strong dramatic tension visually.
It is worth noting that in order to avoid visual clutter, it is best to choose solid color items. For example, mix matte and glossy fabrics to enhance the sense of layering.
For people with yellowish skin, Klein blue is used as the main color and bright yellow as the accent color, which can highlight personality without being too eye-catching.
02. Red + Green
(Suitable for cool and warm skin tones)
In traditional aesthetics, red and green are usually the standard for festive atmosphere. For example, the decoration of Christmas trees, lanterns and cypress branches in the Spring Festival temple fairs complement each other.
If you want to wear a retro fashion sense, choose wine red and olive green, which will buffer the visual tension of the color.
If your skin color is yellowish and darker, you can use red as an accent color and green as the main color, which can not only highlight the sense of luxury, but also match a sense of sight that makes people bright.
03. Fresh orange + apple green
(Suitable for warm skin tones)
The high-saturation fresh orange is as bright as the sun, intertwined with the fresh and cool apple green, forming a complementary color balance visually. There is a stunning sense of harmony.
The golden color ratio of 7:3 is adopted, with orange as the main color and apple green as the auxiliary color. This combination is especially suitable for warm skin tones. The warm orange can neutralize the yellow-green pigment in the skin, while the apple green can brighten the overall complexion.
04. Taro purple + grass green
(Suitable for cool skin tones)
The combination of taro purple and grass green is like wearing a spring garden on the body. The collision of soft romance and fresh vitality is harmonious and stunning.
If you want to be more flamboyant, grass green wide-leg pants with taro purple satin shirt, like new buds after rain, inject a touch of playful tension into the whole.
Or wear a taro purple top with bare shoulders and grass green wide-leg pants, which can make the color collision have a breathable feeling. This is more fashionable and advanced.
05. Lemon yellow + black
(Suitable for warm skin tones)
When bright yellow meets deep black, the two extreme colors achieve a wonderful sense of balance in the confrontation.
It is recommended to use 80% black as the main color and 20% lemon yellow as the secondary color. This color ratio can break the seriousness without appearing frivolous.
It is recommended to choose silver accessories. The cold metallic luster can neutralize the expansion of yellow, so that the details of the accessories form a gradient echo with the main color.
06. Klein blue + bright red
(Suitable for all skin colors)
The collision of Klein blue and red is a bold color matching that will never go out of fashion.
When the highly saturated Klein blue meets the equally strong red, the two extreme colors form a strong visual confrontation.
The moment the red belt restrains the main blue color, it immediately outlines the neat golden ratio. A pair of red high heels will give the whole match a sonorous rhythm.
If you are trying contrasting colors for the first time, you can start with accessories, such as orange and blue color matching earrings or red and green contrasting socks, so that you won’t make mistakes easily.
