How to match colors: Blue and Green

Here it is: another post part of the color combination series.

Like any other colors that are neighbors in the color wheel, blue and green look beautiful together. This combination sends a message of approachability and casualty that is easily translated to any personal style or occasion.

This combination is called analogous and actually can include up to three or four neighbors in the color wheel, such as blue, blue/green and green.

Always remember that when we talk about color combinations, we consider each color in any value (dark x light), temperature or intensity. It means that there are many shades of blues and greens to choose from, and the combination is still called analogous.

OLD BUT GOLD TIPS

As I always say, there are colors that enhance our natural beauty and they are always the best to be worn close to our face - in tops, scarves, necklaces, earrings, sunglasses etc. 

Now, what happens if a color washes us out or it’s too heavy for our complexion?

If it’s still part of your personal style and you really want to wear it, my advice is simple: go for it! But do make sure to wear the right makeup palette and don’t forget to choose strategically the accessories’ colors.

Remember that accessories are also part of a color combination and make all difference!

I often write about color combinations in my blog, so always make sure you’re around to learn more about this topic.
