A common question I get from my clients is: How can I combine a saturated color with another color besides black?

My answer might surprise you because vibrant colors usually don't look great with black. They can appear even more intense and sporty rather than elegant or interesting.

There are many color combinations you can try with red. One example is what Grece Ghanem is wearing in this photo: pairing red with light and soft green, a so-called "colorful neutral." These complementary colors create a creative and balanced look.

If this feels too bold for you, try pairing red with camel or gray. Just avoid black or white, as these will make the bright red pop even more.

Do you find it easy to create different color combinations? If you book a color analysis with me, you'll learn new options that can transform your wardrobe. Interested? Send an email to hello@marciacrivorot.com for more information.
