🎨 Color Palette Tips for Designers

A well-chosen palette makes your outfit look stylish, balanced, and easy on the eye. Here are the basic rules of working with color:

🌈 1. Choose your main color

Pick one dominant color — it sets the mood for the entire outfit. It can be soft pink, dramatic black, or vibrant green.

🎯 2. Add accents and neutrals

1–2 accent colors: for details, contrast, and visual interest

1–2 neutral colors: like white, gray, or beige — for balance and background

Example:

Main — cornflower blue

Accents — lemon yellow and fuchsia

Neutral — light gray

🧠 3. Use color harmony principles

Monochromatic — shades of a single color

Analogous — neighboring colors on the wheel (e.g. blue + teal + green)

Complementary — opposite colors (e.g. blue and orange)

🎨 4. Think about color mood

Warm colors — active and dynamic

Cool colors — calm and elegant

Pastels — soft and romantic

Brights — bold and energetic

💡 Tip: Create your palette in advance — it will help you keep textures, trims, and shadows in one consistent style.
