BEDA #25 - Color Combinations Tell Something

BEDA #25
Date: 29th April 2013

next up on fashion,
this post is more general...
it'll be on color combination...

do you know that by dressing in a certain color,
we're sending a message...
and some colors are tied to different messages...
some, only when combined do they make a whole new message...

i would like to start with two combinations that i have and always think that they can send a message...
i have a green checkered shirt, a purple tie, and a gold tie...
when i wear the shirt with my gold tie, it gives an impression of life, of value, similar to Jean Grey's Pheonix color...
it gives the message of class and elegance and of positive value...
however, when i switch to my purple tie, it sends the opposite message...
green and purple could be tied to poison ivy, of poison, of death, of evil
a stark contrast from just the changing of my tie colors on my green shirt...
so you see?

similarly, if i combine blue with white or black...
with white, it gives a serene, celestial feel.
something cooling and safe...
something nice...
but with black, it gives an almost punk effect...
blue and black usually associates with night and danger...
see the contrast from just a change in color?

i hope you can see what i mean...
your colors send a message...
so, match wisely or go adventurous...
and since i'm a rather artsy person,
i could relate the colors to their symbols...

yours truly,
J
