I know you're joking but in the case of dbk and naruto, it actually fits because of the color pallete from the anime. So the fits seems cohesive because what their wearing technically fits into to their world

[@BRAZILIAN_MIKU]

​@@zionechon169naruto, specially adolescent naruto looks so fire when he's walking around naruto land with all the green trees, sandy-looking ground (despite it not beign sand lol) and blue skies. The anime actually takes a big aesthetical hit with the final battle taking place at night in a brown ground/crater, not even keeping the sandy ground. Imagine if the final battle took place at day time in a grass field like the one from drunk rock lee vs bone man fight or a large body of water, that is the type of place that naruto shines aesthetically

[@jellyjiggler4570]

There's proportionally way more orange in the fits which is how you're "supposed to" do that. But these colors always make you look like a super hero or a sports fan

[@Snoozler]

"Objective" color theory is for like.. painting and printing. When it comes to fashion - you can't really look at the outfit separate from the person wearing it. Your skin tone and hair are also going to be a part of the whole context for the look. This is where seasonal color analysis is really helpful, imo. Makes it easier to narrow down on what characteristics of colors flatters your particular undertone, intensity, etc.

[@deralufe9094]

Those are all objective rules invented hundreds of years ago, people today just dont even know the term complexion anymore

[@helenaap2042]

@@Snoozler all of the things you mentioned ARE color theory, its just that the general understanding of color theory people have is very basic. As you say color theory isn’t supposed to be objective, but is a combined pool of knowledge based on psychology, biology and communication. Seasonal color analysis is based on color theory, it analyzes colors in relation to someone’s phenotype according to “flattering” standards defined by what our psychology and biology deems harmonious. Like balancing contrast and similarity. Or in other cases conveying emotion through color, or manipulating spatial perceptions of rooms.

[@Snoozler]

@@helenaap2042 Yes, I'm very aware that it is still color-theory -- my point was just that it's more nuanced compared to the sort of basic color-theory discussed in the video (the color-wheel, complementary colors, etc). Like yea, blue and orange are complementary, and this information can be used in certain painting techniques to really enhance lighting contrast for example. But this doesn't eqally translate to just puting on a bright orange and blue outfit and think that's gonna look good. x)

[@RubyWalker-j1n]

I'm a painter and I think it's cute that artists always end up accidentally wearing the same colors from their paintings... I started noticing it in art school and it still comes up all the time. Personally, I dress kinda ugly most of the time. I'm saving my aesthetic choices for the studio. I wear a lot of pink, green, navy blue, and brown. But I have one red shirt that I like. Almost all of my winter clothes are green -- I guess I miss the leaves, haha.

[@joshfenn5374]

you soooo got analogous zoned by a girl you found complimentary

[@RubyWalker-j1n]

I'm a painter so I am VERY familiar with the color wheel -- what you're describing is a split complementary/analogous palette. Complements are by no means the only way to build a cohesive palette; in fact they work best for adding a "pop" or unexpected element to the piece. Pure, saturated complements tend to make people's eyes hurt. Complements make each other look brighter, which isn't necessarily everyone's goal in making an outfit. Just like the goal of music isn't necessarily to be AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE AT EVERY MOMENT!!! Blue, green, cool gray, and charcoal seem to dominate in your personal palette -- these are all near each other on the color wheel. Then you throw in some nice cool red, green's complement, as a little spice. "A Color Notation" by Albert Henry Munsell describes a sphere, not a wheel, with hue, value, and saturation on the x,y, and z axes. Playing with colors in the same family of hues and varying the value and saturation is a perfectly good way to build a palette -- you don't HAVE to go for the most jarring complements possible if that isn't your style.

[@RubyWalker-j1n]

In "artist talk" the stuff you're talking about in this video falls under the principle of design called "Unity and Variety." There is unity in the palette because the analogous/complementary colors have an inherent relationship to each other, but there's also variety in the values and saturation of each color. You are also describing rhythm and repetition, which again, I liken to music -- you might repeat the melody of a verse while offering something unexpected in the lyrics, a balance between giving the listener what they expect and surprising them. I think your issue with the "matchy matchy" outfits is that the red of the jacket is the EXACT SAME red as the shoes; it's repetition without variation. That's definitely a bold style that some people might prefer, but it's only one way to build an outfit. You might be more open to adding, say, a hat in a deeper brown-red color; this would HINT at the red in your shoes without exactly repeating it. It harmonizes without playing the exact same note.

[@RubyWalker-j1n]

Lastly, of course, it should be noted that the colors of YOU are included in the outfit. Your skin and hair are part of the composition. You could get into seasonal color analysis if you want, or you could just remember that someone with a very desaturated, delicate, pale complexion and desaturated, light brown hair will look somewhat overshadowed by an outfit built on fully saturated, contrasting colors. If you learn the language and theory behind the color wheel -- not just what complements are -- then you are equipped to make your own decisions without following someone else's interpretation of the system. It's like learning how to read and write versus just memorizing someone else's words verbatim. Knowledge is freedom.

[@chrislauron5650]

Color has three components: saturation (how rich or vibrant a color is), hue(what a color is, ie blue vs orange), and value (how light or dark a color is). What the color palette captures is saturation and value, whereas the color wheel only takes hue into account. Playing with saturation and value can make most hues work together if you get it right.

[@helenaap2042]

Yeah! Its more of a color sphere, with a balance between contrast and similarity. That is what brings harmony His color pallets definitely comply with color theory, he just doesn’t know enough about color theory to explain them

[@helenaap2042]

Here is an example to making things that wouldn’t work actually work: Green and blue. If you choose full saturation and base value they don’t generally match. But if you add value to the blue and remove saturation to the green, the blue becomes darker and the green has more white in it which the brain picks up as contrasting because of the grayscale difference. While also the less saturated the color the harder it gets for the untrained brain to pinpoint the hue and most light desaturated colors blend, making it seem that the green is more analogous to blue.

[@treiz.]

@@helenaap2042 this is it!!! i have been so frustated because the use of the color wheel has proven to be insufficient for reaching the style i want to achieve and while i always had the feeling the anwer lied in values and saturation it still is a hard thing to get around in terms of buying clothes. the theory is not helpful if you cant translate in to reality, thats when the "color palette" comes into play as a more organized view of this whole thing and am gonna tried it

[@helenaap2042]

@@treiz. yeah, its like speaking a language. Its easier for people to understand pictures (color pallets) than written words (pantones, cmyk %, rgb %, levels, gama curves, etc). Pictures are very efficient translating information but have more room for interpretation. And words are more precise but have to be applied in the right context and be readable by whoever needs to read them.

[@tripwilson]

@@helenaap2042this is great info! I tried the color wheel thing and if you just pull straight from it most of the saturated colors are so bright to where the outfit looks too loud and cartoonish. So you are saying that you can pull the value down so that one is closer to white or black to make it easier on the eye?

[@m.f.3347]

The green hoodie/blue jeans combo works bc 1. the green is very soft, not oversaturated so it doesn't feel like it's burning a hole in your eyes and 2. green/blue is actually a pretty common combo in nature (think grassy fields and blue skies) and we generally find it pleasing, so I actually would call it "objectively solved". Colour theory isn't just "muh opposite ends of the wheel"; saturation and brightness, and proportions of colours are just as important! I generally try to keep small "pops" of deeper colours in my outfits so they stand out against the softer colours that take up most of the visual real estate. This helps avoid looking like a highlighter pen, but like everything in fashion sometimes that's what you wanna go for! The palette advice is on point too

[@Cherry-tl1ei]

Ik a bit about color theory, and when it comes to fashion, the muted versions of analogous or complementary colors are always easier to style since when you go down in chroma, they work better put next to each other. Complementary colors are just the most contrasting hues when paired. And in fashion you can also play a lot with patterns and different textures to get some interesting contrast in your fit. These can very well stay within the same hue, value and chroma and still look interesting. And to make a complementary color pop, you don’t have to go 50/50 in each complementary color like ex. yellow and purple. A 70/30 split would usually be more appealing. The same goes for the chroma, a good amount of muted versions of a similar hue will complement the similar strong chroma hue peice that you want to style. And make it really pop. I recommend watching James Gurney’s “gamut masking” video to understand better. peace ✌️.

[@ForestWizardLookingForPotion]

The color wheel is only 1/3rd of the story. It shows hue relationships, but doesn't touch on value (brightness) and chroma (saturation). Orange and blue can work together insanely well, if there is good contrast in both chroma and value between the two colors. Impression, Sunset by Monet is a perfect example of this color combination being beautiful. Color composition and proportions are also extremely important. Calling back to the Monet painting, notice how the vivid color of the sun only takes up a tiny amount of space on the canvas. This emphasises that color. Generally you want more of your duller colors and less of your more vivid ones to have a nice harmonic look.

10:58 - Call me crazy (or maybe it's just my personality type) but something about being IN a box is what I enjoy when putting an outfit together-something about this specific look just screams "perfect" to me.

Thanks for touching on that whole "green shoes, green shirt, green hat - OUTFIT!" thing that was everywhere in the 2000's.

[@dooderoo2365]

there's a lot more to utilizing color theory than just "complimentary good, analogous bad" and I think understanding color theory in that shallow sense is why you think its bad. a vibes based approach to color is good but you have to also understand that knowing your theory will help you more consistently get your fits right.

[@-grey]

People also need to consider their skin and hair into the equation too. It's not really ever binary enough to be objective. Tone is also a big one. Not everything needs to be hyper contrast venemous animal looking. If you shoot yourself in black and white it the contrast too high, too low? Plus we also need to consider shape and silhouette again. The loose fit loose fit loose fit cartoon christmas tree silhouette is not a one and done solution.

Complementary colors are part of the bigger contrast spectrum. Christian's memory moldboard represents the hue and saturation contrast with cold colors (blues, mints, grays, blacks, etc.). Complementary colors rarely look great together, would you like to know why? Because combining complementary colors gives you a gray mass, that's why they are complementary. They are opposites. Not because they complement each other.

i think instead of the color, its the warm/cold or saturated/unsaturated scales (i dunno the words), like, all the colors go good together if they're all washed out, faded-ish, earthy(?). or if they're all neon/flourescent.. doesnt matter what colors they are, they'll go together. like, take red and green. they go together according to the color wheel or whatever. but if you take a desaturated pea soup green and combine it with a maroon/burgundy, IME it clashes a bit. but a dark loden/forest green with maroon/burgundy, looks nice. i think if you look at most color palettes the colors are gonna have the same level of saturatedness/brightness regardless of what colors are used.
