Color circle

This is the most popular tool for choosing the perfect color combinations in clothes. It consists of 12 colors. Designers advise using a circle where all colors are presented in 4 different variations, decreasing in shade saturation. And the best combinations are built on the same level of intensity. The vertices inscribed in a circle of shapes - a triangle, square or hexagon - will indicate colors that can be combined in one suit.

Colors that are opposite each other on the circle create direct contrast. This combination should be used extremely carefully, strictly maintaining the tones of colors in order to avoid vulgarity in clothing.

The colors located at the vertices of the triangle form a classic triad. Such combinations look most advantageous, harmonious and bright, provided that the color intensity and warmth match are correctly chosen.

Soft contrast can be achieved as follows: draw a straight line, the top of which will indicate the main color, and the adjacent colors of the main contrast below will create the vertices of the triangle. This softened combination of contrasting colors is ideal for everyday wardrobe items, especially if you use lighter shades.

If you connect diametrically opposite colors with a straight line and add to them 2 adjacent colors of one of the vertices, you will get a complex tetradic combination that can be used when choosing a suit and accessories. A combination is considered difficult because the colors in the clothes do not match, and even one mismatched detail of the costume will make it tasteless and provocative.

In rectangular color combinations, 2 colors located one after another are the vertices of the rectangle. Perpendicular lines should be lowered from them to the bottom of the circle so that a regular rectangle is obtained. In this combination, the colors enhance each other, and the costume as a whole looks sophisticated, fashionable and intellectual. Colors can be distributed: partly used in clothing, partly in accessories.

If necessary, you can order a special color wheel on the Internet, which will help you select the right combinations of clothing items and accessories.

Combination of shades

When creating collections, designers carefully study color compositions to correctly form harmonious combinations of colors and shades. After all, it is known that color can influence mood, first impressions, opinion formation, and even reactions in certain situations.

The main colors are: blue, yellow and red. All others are derived from mixing the basic ones. When two main colors are combined in a 50:50 ratio, the following colors are obtained: purple, orange, green. By changing the percentage of colors mixed, many other shades are obtained.

  • Triadic combination- a combination of 3 colors located at the same distance from each other on the color wheel. This color combination scheme creates a bright contrast in which all the colors used are absolutely harmoniously combined. Using the basic combination model involves using yellow, red and blue colors. In the secondary model, colors derived from the main ones are used - green, purple, orange. The tertiary model uses combinations with tertiary colors, which are obtained by mixing derivative colors with primary colors. For example, yellow-green, orange-yellow, red-orange, blue-violet, green-blue.

This skill is quite important, especially if you shop online, because you cannot stand in front of a mirror and see how this or that thing fits on you. To learn how to match colors, you will need to take a color wheel and study it carefully.


How to use the color wheel

The combination of colors occurs according to certain rules. The artist I. Itten created certain color schemes that are most suitable for each other. He placed all the colors in a circle in such an order that they were separated by degree of primacy and interacted with each other.

This circle was created to make it easier for beginning artists to work with flowers. They were able to find out which shades go together. This color wheel helps all people who are involved in creativity, including clothing designers.


In the enclosed space of this circle, colors are placed - from basic to secondary and tertiary. Many shades are formed from primary colors - red, blue, yellow. The more colors are mixed, the more shades you get. To accommodate the full spectrum of existing colors, a sphere with even more shades is placed inside the circle.


Creating color harmony

If you look at the basis of a color composition, you can see how the colors combine with each other. There are many different combinations that are combined into certain patterns that are not repeated among themselves. To build a particular scheme, several tones are taken and mixed with each other. Using the Itten circle you can build harmonious combinations. Let's look at how this can be done.

You can build color harmony from several colors in the amount of two, four, six. Two-tone color harmony uses similar and contrasting shades. For beginners, it is important to learn how to combine different shades of the same color.


It is enough to take one main color and try to match it with a shade of the same color. Clothes of the same shades will give nobility. In order not to make a mistake, it is better to choose shades that are distant from each other. Your clothes should not blend together, otherwise it will look unattractive.

A combination of different colors that contrast with each other on the color wheel will look no less attractive. Take orange and combine it with blue for a beautiful color contrast. Red against green will also look attractive. But in order to ensure that the color of the clothes does not shout or be too colorful, it is best to take some color as a base and add a little contrast to it.


When creating similar three-color combinations that suit each other, you need to take colors that are located next to each other on the color wheel. In color harmony this is called an analogue triad. In three-color harmony, adjacent colors and similar colors are usually taken that are in harmony with each other. Here it is also important to choose colors that will not merge with each other.

To create a classic three-color scheme - a triad, you can use an isosceles, equilateral triangle. You must select three equidistant colors from the circle that are in harmony with each other to create a triangular geometric figure.


Here it is important to highlight the main color, and the other two should be present in small quantities and complement the main one. From primary colors you can take red, blue, yellow, from secondary colors - purple, green, orange. You can combine colors along the line, using both adjacent colors and additional shades.


Try to fit a geometric figure into the Itten circle - a rectangle and a square. IN square pattern take 2 or three similar colors. If you take different ones, you risk looking ridiculous. For example, you can get a four-color consonance of the following colors: purple, blue with green tint, yellow and red with an orange tint.



In a rectangular design, two pairs are selected that contrast with each other. And here you have room for your imagination. However, you should be careful, otherwise the colors will be too colorful, and your image will be too flashy and ridiculous. This won't happen if you match three shades to one base color. You can even insert an equilateral hexagon into a circle, then you get a harmony of six colors.

All these schemes, as well as a table of combined colors, will help you make right choice in clothes.
