@AWalkingHat 5 лет назад

I find that choosing a neutral version of one of the complementary colours also works and improves the visual effect, such as camel paired with blue or olive paired with red.

This was fun! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Now would you please do a piece about neutrals also? How to best use neutrals with various skin tones: dark, light, cool, warm? What makes a neutral look elegant vs cheap, or ageing vs fresh?

@justineleconte 7 лет назад

+Sanni Judy great idea!

@lestranged 7 лет назад

great idea- neutrals can have so many different undertones, even if you have all black clothes I am sure you have seen blacks that don't go with eachother because one has a blue undertone and another has a greenish undertone, etc. This is why there are 100 shades of white at a paint store- undertones!

@h06anbjo 7 лет назад

lestrange Yeah, the undertones of colors are deceptive... Like a bluish red for instance, does it really go as well with a yellowish green as it does with a blueish green??

This is one of the best color theory vids i have seen to refresh what i have learned from my classes. Thank you Justine...you're the best

@allywally425 6 лет назад

I was aleays taught in art class and from my mom who's a graphic designer that you're meant to use complimentary colors to bring a certain color out or make them "pop". Like for example in art if we painted a blue sky we would color orange underneath it to make he blue seem more vibrant, or even Justine's lipstick is an example, where the light green in her eyes is an lifted from the red-violet kind of lip color, since those are complimentary colors. Maybe it's just a proportions, like use one less to bring out the other main color so they don't compete for attention? Idk I was just confused because she didn't mention that and that was like the one thing I retained when taught about color.

@fashion_ridewithcrownex9032 4 года назад

She is talking to about the mix of colors as regards fashion, not graphic designing or other types of art.

@FeliciaFollum 4 года назад

Fashion is different than design. You could do orange shadows with blue lips or blue Shadow with oranges but it's much more punk and won't be harmonious. Contrast can also be difficult in design. Think Myspace pages or old websites with the red/otand background and blue text. Definitely a NO in design

@enricoshanerobertson1963 4 года назад

But in fashion its been proven that orange and blue works . So now im confused

@fashion_ridewithcrownex9032 4 года назад

@@enricoshanerobertson1963 I recently read about this, and I found out that, you can actually mix complementary colors together, but the proportion is highly important, else, your outfit might make too much noise...You can even decide to make one a touch of the other, then it makes your outfit Pop...Justine, maybe you can clear our doubts on this too

@enricoshanerobertson1963 4 года назад

@@fashion_ridewithcrownex9032 I agree with you . Also I see in her videos she says that you should stick to colours that suits your undertone but I have see that alot of people wearing athleisure wear is doing the different variations of neon green and it suits everybody , from light skin to dark skin

Great simple & precise description of what monochromatic is. I hear this term tossed around often on many of the makeup channels & hearing you describe/confirm its definition here, I realize that many didn't really know what monochromatic is & probably through no fault of their own. It seems like it was just assumed to be something else & many just followed suit assuming that the information was correct. Thanks!!

@lethiapage4767 4 года назад

Love this topic! One of my fav color pairs is actually a complimentary but its very classy and subdued. Its palest aqua with a small burst of red orange. They are directly opposite each other but one is very tinted while the other is full saturation. I love this mostly for home fashions as i dress a lot in black. Example to follow.
