analogous color scheming

Sometimes, less is not better. It's just a matter of having more of the right things. Colors are the same. Outfits too. One way you can layer on "more" color without looking like you accidentally fell on a box of crayons, is by sticking with an analogous color scheme. It sounds sneaky but is super simple.

Analogous colors are colors that are adjacent to one another on the color wheel (red-orange, orange, yellow OR blue, green, yellow).

Andrea and I always seem to plan our outfits in coordinating colors without actually planning to do so. This week was on par with that telepathic planning. We were both having a blue/green/yellowish sort of Sunday.

teal (blue-green), green, yellow


 
blue, turquoise (blue-green), yellow-green


Dreaming of other great color combos? Try these:
mint, kelly green, cobalt, yellow




emerald, teal, yellow-green
 

  
Happy Outfitting!
