Colours which always 'go' together

[touareg]

Help me please! I am stuck in a black / dull colours rut.

However, in desperation the other day I wore a green dress and put blue t shirt underneath, which looked OK. So, do blue and green always work well together? I have noticed that blue and yellow sometimes look ok too (on other people).

Are there any other combinations which are 'safe' or always look nice? Please tell me what works for you.

I can't afford that fishie, a nice idea though. Was hoping mumsnet could give me some free ideas!

[SimpleAsABC]

[SimpleAsABC]

sorry *your, i'm in a rushy frame of mind!

I am wearing a teal green vest and blue v-neck today,I have loads of clothes those colours so it's easy to mix and match

red and brown or variations of also work well

navy and purple
grey and navy

the list is endless

I avoid black and white or black any other bright colour as it looks shite on me.

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

Dark Denim and white t shirt

Green and blue can be good

Purple and black v dramatic

Pink and turquoise - not the wishy washy but bold

In fact most colours if worn with confidence will look fine

except yellow

[fishie]

ok well if green and blue look nice but yellow is better on other people then we have a start. how about red and navy or grey?

i got mine done at house of colour, worth every penny as i have (almost) stopped buying 'bargains' which don't suit me.

Hello touareg, I can give you some avice on colouring,(look at my profile) I need to know your
-hair colour,
-skin tone,
-eyes colour
than I can give you a rough idea. )

[motherlovebone]

as you already have black, try teaming black and navy or black and brown to start.

as Boys said, dont use a washed out colour with a bold one.

[TsarChasm]

I love pale grey. It looks good with lots of colours even white.

[SoMuchToBits]

I think one of the most important things is to put colours together which have the same sort of tones in them, e.g. I would use a cool pink with a blue, but not a warm, coral pink. I would use an olivey green with browns/gold, but not a cool, jadey green. Hope this makes sense.

[SilentTerror]

I love grey with purple or teal atm.

Judit are you a mate of ALohas?

Try this link Colour Lovers or this one Colour Mixers for a palette of complementary and contrasting colours.
I use this one a lot as I'm a designer Colour Wheel and need to know what goes with what!

Might give you an idea of how colours mix and match

For eg. I was told I am a Spring, and I usually wear navy instead of black. When I have a tan I can wear black without looking like I should have a stake through my heart.

Peachy or warm colours drain me and purples / pinks with a blue undertone give me a boost.
I wear a cherry red instead of a vermillion / orangey red - IF I'm going to wear red!
