Let’s talk about yellow

When talking with my clients I have found that yellow is the most intimidating color. So many tells me they never would dream off wearing yellow. For many with blue eyes yellow is the eye intensifier, this is for many quite scary and when we’re having our second video chat this is a topic we can talk a lot about. I always say that yellow is a very powerful color, so for many it can be a bit too much. However no one needs to wear big amounts of yellow even if it is their eye intensifier. A little go a long way, it can be a camisole under a cardigan, some accessories or some flowers in a pattern for instance. Funny thing is that when they start trying out yellow they often end up loving it. When they have their own custom made color fan they know exactly which yellow to wear.

On the opposite side of the color wheel we find purple, complementary colors works so great together and what is more suitable for spring than yellow and purple?

I have played around with my Stylebook again and created one outfit for each season with these two colors.

Spring

The yellow for Springs are golden and bright. Hello, spring has certainly sprung when we see this lovely color combination. It makes us think about crocus. Springs can have other kind of yellows in their palette as well, but all have a golden tone in them. Springs can use violet, purple and periwinkle.

Summer

How delicate is this? Light lemon yellow paired with lavender. A perfect combination for a light summer.The yellows for summer has a bit of blue in it which makes it a cool yellow. Summers can use a wide range of purples, violet, lavender, amethyst and plum

Autumn

As for the Springs the Yellows for Autumns are more golden yellow, Autumns can have a range of yellows in their palettes from the lightest buttermilk, golden yellow, marigold and also mustard. Personally I love to pair my yellow with this red-purple color.

Winter

The yellows for Winters also has some blue in them which makes them cool. Icy yellow and lemon yellow are typical yellows for Winters. Winters can also use a wide range of purples from Icy violet to Aubergine.

Remember this is the general yellows and purples for each season. Only when having a custom made color palette you will know the exact values, tones, tints and shades which is optimal for your coloring. You can find information about my online color analysis here Colors in Style By Kari
