How to match colors: Yellow, Blue and Red

One of the most common complaints I hear from my clients is:

"I don't know how to match colors. It looks like some people master the use of colors and they always look good."

To make things easier, I decided to start a series of posts with a few suggestions on how to match colors!

Today I’ll show you options on how to match blue, yellow and red - also known as a triadic color combination because they are an example of three colors evenly spaced in the color wheel. 

Fun fact: mustard, cream or neon yellow are all shades of yellow, which means that a pair of camel sandals are also considered, well, yellow. It also means that there is a sunny color shade for everyone! Amazing, isn’t it? 

Don't worry about technical details. Just look at the three examples in the photos and get inspired by how you could try different outfits with what you have in your wardrobe. Or maybe this can help you with the decision of buying something new for the upcoming resume of our lives - we all hope it will happen soon!
