How to match colors: Red and Violet

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

Like any other neighboring colors in the color wheel, red and violet look amazing together.

This combination sends a message of approachability and casualty that is easily translated to any personal style or occasion.

Need some proof? Just check out the outfit options here:

This duo is called analogous and can actually include up to three or four neighbors in the color wheel, such as red, red violet, violet and blue violet.

Remember that when we consider a color combination for our outfits, it should also include accessories, such as jewelry, bags, shoes and even the nail polish you pick! So you don't need to wear red pants and a purple t-shirt to achieve this perfect color combination.

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 red and purple to choose from, and the combination is still called analogous. For example, burgundy is a dark red, and lavender is a light purple.

SOME SPECIAL TIPS FOR YOU

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.

I promise you that it will completely change how you look!
