Mixing colors is an essential skill for any man who hopes to dress well. Treating the intermediate colors as their own distinct hues will make a serious improvement in your understanding of your wardrobe colors. It's a different color rather than a darker form of the same color, with a different complementary color on the other side of the wheel and so on. It's important to remember that they are distinct hues and not just shades or tints of the primaries and secondaries – a violet shirt isn't the same thing as a the deeper blue-violet. These are found between the primary and secondary colors. What are the 6 Intermediate Tertiary Colors? A complementing outfit will always read as bright and attention-getting.Īs a result, many outfits combine a primary color (usually a shade or a tint of one) and a secondary color for the basic contrast. Human eyes notice the contrast between complementary colors more than other combinations. That relationship is called “ complementary.” These are each created by combining two primary colors – red and blue to make violet, yellow, and blue to make green, and red and yellow to make orange.Įach secondary color is directly opposite a primary color on the wheel. As a result, you'll usually only see small accents in unaltered primary colors such as a red tie or a yellow pocket square. You use them when you want to grab the viewer's eye. In their natural hue (without shading or tinting), they read as very bright, vivid colors to the human eye. All the other hues can be created by combining primary colors. These are the only colors that can't be made by adding or mixing other colors together. Understanding which relationships on the color wheel look “good” to human eyes and which seem bland or garish is the key to using the color wheel in coordinating your outfits. Brown is sometimes described as a ‘neutral' base for an outfit as well, but it is still a combination of color wheel hues, and usually reads closest to orange or red-orange in outfits. Any outfit will be a combination of these colors and the ‘neutrals' – white, black, and the two combined to make grays of varying darkness.
