  • You have built a moodboard. You have sketches of your looks. Now what?... This tutorial presents how I pick my colors when I create a color palette for fashion.
    Instead of using a color wheel, instead I am using a Color Aid, which is a set of 314 color swatches which you can find online. It is a tool I really recommend if you want to practice color theory.
    Enjoy, subscribe like, share to help this channel grow & let me know which video you want next week!
    Take care,
    Justine.

    I’ve read a lot about color and completed quite a few exercises, however your video explained the why behind color combinations but still kept it manageable. Most color experts go way too much into the theory and its easy to get confused and frustrated so thank you!

    Even though I haven't even started fashion school yet, I already have the colour palette of ym first collection in mind - stone/taupe/tan/whatever (you know what I mean: a light browngrey colour), teal, chocolate brown, beige, charcoal, silver and true red. Stone, true red and teal are, becuase they're nor too warm, cool, bright, deep or light universally flattering colours, which will look nice on more less everyone. They're not too out-there but not boring. Chocolate brown is a very classy yet relaxed, more conservative colour that looks amazing on deeper coloured and warm-coloured people, and nowadays an annoyingly difficult colour to find. Time to bring it back! Beige looks very nice on lighter-coloured people with all kinds of undertones but the most cool. Charcoal and silver are the cool gal's nice neutrals, which still combine nicely with the warmer neutrals for a very simple, relaxed look.

    HI Justina and thanks aloooot for your high quality and effective contents.
    And please ... please ....please....make more detailed and complete videos about topic "colors theory" because i believe personally,one who has learned colors perfectly,has gone over 50 percent of the fashion's road.I hope you to make a full series of this subject,because even many people who have academic backgrouds ,have not been teached properly in design schools and universities.
    please accept my deep and pure respects,gratefulness and love for what you are doing.

    I find all colour topics extremely interesting. I used the colour grab app you suggested in a previous video, as well but I'm still struggling with my undertone. it would be very nice if you could explain the app and also give us examples with pictures about warm, cool undertone, what works for them and what doesn't. For example why blonde hair looks great on someone but looks horrible on someone alse. Thank you for your time. Lovely, genuine smile you have 😘

    • @Naomi-jj9de
      @Naomi-jj9de 7 лет назад +2

      H MARIA me too, I tried the app but couldn't figure out how to use it correctly so I gave up on it. Mine said light faded orange but I have no idea what to do with that info?? A tutorial on the app would be amazing!!

    • @gittevandevelde2208
      @gittevandevelde2208 5 лет назад +1

      Depth is also an important factor. When someone who is naturally deep (dark hair and eyes) dies their hair light blond, it quickly looks harsh and unnatural because it's the total opposite of their natural colourign and throws things off balance. And there's also something like chroma - the brightness. Someone who has very soft muddy eyes and kidn of neutral-ish beigey skin won't look good in a bright, even, dyed golden or platinum blonde. It's too bright and unnatural (unless they have naturally blonde hair), as these people's hair is often more blended, appearing many different colours. If you're deep or soft you'd want to just slightly soften your look, with a very well done gradient-like ombre. And of course, just the underton ;) if you're natural warm (like auburn hair) a light blonde will look unnatural, too. The only people who can succesfully go blond and preferable a very natural, blended blonde with still some darker streaks (just some blonde highlights maybe?) are those who were blonde once in their life.

    Love your videos! I still need help in defining what colors are the best for the person just by looking at the person! (Seasons don't usually work!). I work in a boutique store and have rather demanding and knowledgeable customers. Withing minutes I have to consult them in the best way possible on style and color! Please, help! I am watching your videos every day after work and trying to apply what I learned right away! Thank you, you are a treasure on RUclips!

    This is a really great video, i learned something so thank you. For me the issue is maybe more finding the right pieces to fit together. i feel I would need to be constantly shopping or at the mall to find the right color that match everything else. I guess that's why people would hire someone like you :)

    • @julesoxana3630
      @julesoxana3630 5 лет назад

      Well this is just my personal opinions. But trends play a hugeee role in fashion and a designer should always consider it when creating a portfolio. But trends come and go so it is up to the designer actually if the designer finds the trend beautiful and interesting they should include it if they dont then no. But i would recommend adding at the very least 2 trend elements nor one that basically represent all the trends in a portfolio so that it will be more capturing

I watched your video on it but I am having difficulty in finding colors that suit my skin. When I downloaded an app to analize my skin it have me a dark vanilla - that's white tending for very slight beige / very light cold brown. Also, if you could do a video on how to dress for cold skintone with cold shades of warm colors and vice versa?

    @Claireforvideos 6 лет назад

    Hey Justine!
    I am currently working on a moodboard for my fashion collection ( to apply for university). Working on this, I was wondering if the colors in the moodboard have to be the all the colors in a fashion collection? For example, I have 5 colors untill now but I am thinking to design a yellow belt. If its a ' small detail' like this, do I have to include yellow into the moodboard colors? And also if its the same color but a different shade do I have to put that on the colors in the moodboard? I hope I explained myself well :o
    Thank you for your answer!

Will orange+light and dark grey make it little more elegant? I like my computer even when it's 20years old, but don't want to make it look like colourfull candy.
