As the old saying goes, ‘Blue and green should never be seen without a colour in between.’
Good people - two questions:
1) Do you consciously make an effort to colour coordinate in your everyday dress and/or accessories or else are you one of those rebellious sorts who doesn’t give a flying vulgar term for a sexual liaison and deliberately go out in public in as garish a colour clash as you can muster?
And…
2) Are there any colour combinations that you personally cannot stand to see? (I personally find orange and green together to be highly offensive enough to write to my local MP!) |

"I've had a colour analysis done, so I only wear the colours that suit me. If I choose to clash those, then they look great.
Colour is under-rated in helping people feel confident and look good. "
I’ve always found colour therapy to be a fascinating concept.
Some years ago the NHS ostensibly looked into it as a means to create a calming ambience in some of their waiting rooms.
We all know how harsh on ones eyes the traditional sterile white (especially when augmented under fluorescent lighting) can be which hardly helps ones likely already stressed mood in such places.

"I was a fashion student, rules are made to be broken  .
In my experience, it's often more that mixing cool and warm tones looks off than specific colours. Sometimes contrasts can be interesting. "
I frequently opt for a neutral shade in trousers or top (black for instance) which I can then add literally any colour top to.
Yes….that means I do indeed own some interestingly coloured trousers by the way |

"Green is meant to be a calming colour. That's why surgeons wear it in operating theatres. As a side note it also in asylums."
That’s very interesting.
Funnily enough, green is a colour that I don’t thinks suits me though (although I do love the deeper shade of ‘wine bottle’ green).
Green does admittedly look great on others though. They just seem to, to coin a phrase, ‘rock it.’  |

I pay attention due to my hair. Having a mane of curly red hair means I tend to try and find things that compliment it. Also having a paler complexion, some colours/patterns can look harsh |

I have a few coloured casual shirts. Some Gingham pattern ones.
I love blue as it will make my eyes stand out more. It's more a me thing than an attraction thing....
I have black & white - it's a very smart combo I personally think.
Hate grey - it reminds me of spitting image and John Major & Norma chasing a grey pea round a plate = boring. It needs balancing with purples, blues, pinks, reds, then the same colours in pastel - they work!
I will never wear brown or orange together - EVER! Brown = shit to me. Shhesh so 70's! |

I remember the brown/orange combo underwear which was in high fashion for men back in the seventies
Looking back though, I can only assume that who ever came up with the idea must have had some wholly nefarious intent on abating the birth rate or something… |
