How to know what color clothes look best on you? ›

Determine your skin's undertone with the vein or white shirt test. Some colors may look better on you depending on the undertone of your skin. Your undertone is the dominant hue of your skin—warm, cool, or neutral. Warm undertones tend to look best in warm colors, cool in cool colors, and neutral in any color.

At its core, the 3-color rule advocates for avoiding the combination of more than three colors in a single outfit. While not an absolute law, this rule offers a helpful framework for creating visually appealing ensembles.

Sort Clothes by Color

Clothes with deep colors are more likely to bleed dye when washed. To avoid damaging other clothing, sort laundry according to color, grouping dark, medium and light colors separately. Wash deep colored clothing like indigo jeans or red sweatshirts by themselves for the first few washings.

The first step to find out your colour palette is understanding your skin undertones. Cool undertones have hints of pink, blue, or purple, while warm undertones lean towards peach, yellow, or golden hues. If you're unsure, consider examining the veins on your wrist.

There are several hues that work well with different skin undertones. Warm-toned individuals should opt for earthy colours such as amber and beige, or pastel shades like peach and lavender. Cool-toned individuals look stunning in jewel tones like emerald and ruby, or blush and pink undertones.

This decorating rule suggests that you should cover your room with 60% of a dominant color, 30% of a secondary color, and 10% of an accent shade. It is all about maintaining the perfect balance of tones. Pick colors that mingle well with each other to create a subtle combo.

Use complementary colors: Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange, are complementary colors. When used together, they create a striking contrast that can add interest and depth to your outfit. For example, pairing a red top with green pants creates a strong and vibrant look.

When organizing by color, look to the rainbow. "Start with white, cream, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, brown, gray, and black," says Melanie Walker, the owner of NEAT Method. There are some other hues that are harder to place when working on the ROYGBIV system, like gold and silver.

60-30-10 rule for color use

The 60-30-10 rule gives you an easy way to choose a color palette and stick to it. When done well, it can also help establish a brand's identity. With this rule, you use a primary color 60% of the time; a secondary color 30% of the time; and an accent color 10% of the time.

Use the rainbow (ROY G BIV) to color coordinate: White, tan, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, brown, grey, black. If you have patterned items with multiple colors, create a “patterned section” or decide on its primary color and group it with that color.

The key to choosing flattering colours is to understand if your natural colouring is either warm or cool, and then 'match' your clothing colours. It is important to note that the colours that most affect how you look are those that you wear next to your face, through tops, scarves, or jewellery.

Look at what colors jump out of your skin when juxtaposed against the white piece of paper. Blue and pink colors mean you have cool-toned skin. Green and gold colors mean you have warm-toned skin. The coloration for neutrals might fluctuate depending on the time of year and sun exposure.

Test 5 - Color Test

Check the color of your clothes against your skin and see which ones complement you. You have cool undertones if cool colors like blue suit you. You have warm undertones if warm shades like the yellow suit you. You have a neutral undertone if any and every shade suits you.
