So most people choose to escape or play the "universal" safety card. Is "all-in-one machine" really our best choice? If you don't want to always play the safety card in color matching, then let's use the color matching in accessories to analyze the mystery of color matching. Here can be divided into two aspects, on the one hand, the color matching of the design itself, on the other hand, the color matching relationship with people when wearing.
Color knowledge tells us that all visual perception is based on science. First of all, people invented color swatches according to their own visible light sources. Although colors are endless, we can understand the relationship between colors in this highly inductive way.
The triangle in the middle refers to the three primary colors, red, yellow and blue.
The colors that arc refers to are adjacent colors, which are generally closely connected.
Straight lines refer to contrasting colors/complementary colors, which are generally opposite to 180 degrees.
Split complementary color, that is, the area where 180 degrees swings.
The three elements of color are hue, saturation and lightness, and the dirty color matching in hue is a problem we often see. How to solve this problem? This requires us to avoid some "color matching risks" when matching colors. A very useful method is to use adjacent colors to match colors.
The so-called "color matching risk" is the most obvious complementary color relationship, such as yellow and purple, red and green, so the farther away the two colors are in the color wheel, the more dangerous the color matching will be. In addition, it is difficult to use multiple colors in design, and it is difficult to avoid using complementary colors in some bold color matching, so it is a good solution to determine the main color tone and turn complementary colors into auxiliary colors.
Another way is to reduce the saturation of some colors or use neutral colors as a match. Saturation is the change of chromaticity divided by lightness. The brighter the color, the higher the saturation, so we often say that "high-grade gray" and "cool color" belong to colors with low saturation. This collocation method is also a way to highlight a certain tone, which makes the visual experience softer and can guide others to see the color you want them to see.
Brightness collocation, color lightness refers to the brightness or lightness of color, which is the feeling of eyes on the brightness of light source and object surface. Let's look at the following two pictures. In the first picture, you will find that there is obvious hue difference, but when I process the picture into black and white, I actually find that the brightness of these two colors is the same.
This is a problem that is easy to ignore when making color matching. Sometimes you will find that color collocation has saturation and hue. I don't know why the color is always "floating", because you forgot to "press" it with a heavy color. The following two pictures can clearly show the change of light and shade. This is also a very favorable method to deal with complementary colors or large contrast colors.
Finally, talk about why there is a collocation relationship with people. After the accessories are worn by people, the color matching of skin and accessories will be compounded again, which requires great attention to both the finished products and the audience, which also poses many risks to Asians in the matching of accessories. Try to avoid the contrast and complementary color relationship between the main color and skin color of the finished product. For example, the combination of yellowish skin and purple accessories.
Because the whiter the skin, the less hue, so the wider the range of safe color matching. And black people, you will find that they are in harmony with bright colors, because black has no hue. Therefore, when shooting or designing works, we should consider the relationship with people.
In the matter of color matching, I hope everyone will think rationally and make the boldest attempt within a safe range.
