HappyLookouuut
I completely disagree with some of this.
Mital95
That’s okay
FuzzyZergling
Or I could just be lazy and wear whatever's clean at the moment.
Mital95
Been there.
xBenoitBallsx
Friday was rocking pink and green like nobody’s business.
Fanner50
Only Alpha Kappa Alpha girls are to sport the pink and green.
aeldris
Black goes with everything
mcabe
So you’re telling me my wife was right all along and that the shirt really didn’t match those pants? Interesting...
nightof11bangbangs
Hold up, don't jump to conclusions. I think somr more research is needed
ThelmaTidwell
“My wife was right all along...” Well, duh!

jmota14214
I wish maroon was on here. I think maroon matches everything but I'm sure I'm wrong.
Mital95
I use purple as my maroon palette if that’s helpful
jmota14214
It is, thank you :)
DAWNSEVEN
So dark blue goes with everything but grey doesn't? Shenanigans.
frickenunbelievable
For the guys: brown belt, brown shoes. Black belt, black shoes. Never wear same color tone top to bottom.
PascalCasedUserName
Why are blue and green never combined?
IndigoVixx9
I think they overestimate how well brown and bright orange go together
SierraTM
Brown and black should also not go together.
savagestarshine
& brown with pink is a hella cute flirty fall look
ImInnocentISwear
You can wear any color with neutral colors- I’m not sure why it says you’re limited to a few.
Keru
Well, excuse me for wanting to look like a clown tent that got dressed in the dark.
FallingWithStyleSquirrel
If I wear green and orange Imma look like a carrot.
SierraTM
Don't let your dreams be dreams.
Malcondrion
So beige goes with dark blue but dark blue doesn’t go with beige. I guess I’ll never understand fashion.
strangledbyaturtleneck
Maybe it's accents? I dunno man
readheadbun
Yeah I don't get the tonal outfit colomn..
Mital95
Tonal is something you’d wear if you were looking to be more edgy per-say. It matched but just barely.
readheadbun
Yeah that makes sence. Thanks OP
Mital95
No problem!
knizill
I don't like this
Sauroctonus
Great, now I have to do the exact opposite of this because I'LL DRESS HOW THE FUCK I WANT.
Mital95
Go for it!
ilikeblondehair
just fucking read about color theory
MeatSquatthrust
Yeah you could just remove all the neutrals from the pairings, because they’re neutral, they pair with everything
BikerRay
So Trump should wear green and navy blue?
Lostcause79
As someone with the fashion and color sense of a slightly moistened brick, have both a favorite and an upvote.
strangledbyaturtleneck
I'm sorry, if you pair orange and green my first thought is still gonna be of a pumpkin. Could be Ryan Reynolds and I'll think of pumpkins
Mital95
I paired green slacks and a burnt orange 3/4 zip and it looked really good together, had a lot of earthy hints.
strangledbyaturtleneck
I suppose if the orange wasn't too bright it might be okay
Mital95
OR if it was a dark green and a bright orange
strangledbyaturtleneck
Hmm nah that verges back into the pumpkin zone
Mital95
What’s wrong with pumpkins? Lol
DamnTXyouhot
Don’t need any coordinating if you’re nekkid.
Mital95
You have to coordinate your birthday...
DamnTXyouhot
Only if that particular day I partake in my birthday suit
SquirtleSquad420
Good to see a lot of colors go with my jorts.
ThelmaTidwell
Jorts...you and my husband are keeping that atrocity alive.
rusrsdude
Jorts are great for family outings during spring and summer, ok? Don't hate, appreciate.
idrinkcheapbeer
Canadian?
SquirtleSquad420
They are comfy and show off my calves.
Taxicat
Infographic doesn't take into consideration warm vs cool undertones or clear vs soft shades...
ZimGenzko
Or how you can get an amazing monochromatic look or patterns or different materials, possibilities are endless.Wear whatever the fuck u want
Mital95
Do it
ZimGenzko
The graphic is bullshit though. Especially when it comes to business attire.Monochromatic or pastel works best, use colours for accessories
Taxicat
Also doesn't explain that different combos look different on different people. What works great for one person might make 1/
Taxicat
another look like they just crawled out of their own grave. 2/
Mital95
Y’all are both right but that’s where you playing with the variations helps
Taxicat
Actually working on my own tutorial about it, but other stuff keeps getting in the way...
Mital95
Lemme know when you have it up!
Taxicat
Will do! Slogging through some fine-tuning at the moment.
StarmineRendezvous
As a white guy, I regularly where red shirts with blue shorts. I feel like it fits well, purely because of the flag.
Fanner50
Very French (or a dozen other nationalities.
StarmineRendezvous
wear* oops
strangledbyaturtleneck
"I'm not unfashionable, I'm patriotic!"
StarmineRendezvous
No, I am 100% unfashionable haha. No way would I spend more money than minimum.
strangledbyaturtleneck
It's too much to worry about
Fanner50
So, your main color can’t be black?
Ledzo
Taxicat
Depends. Black works great as a default neutral on some people, but not on anyone who is too warm-toned or too pale.
Badger96
evergreenyankee
Black isn't a color Jared, it's the absence of it.
Guuuuuump
Spot on. Spot on.
TwitchTitch
Did you miss the part where black is included in every pairing and therefore goes with everything?
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
No because once you go black, you never go back...
CleanLeQueefer
...or, you might get stabbed, bitch.
UnrealDreamer
Black goes with black, black or black. Tonally wear it with black or black.
asplenium
TerribleBurdenOnSociety
Color of clothing? Or heart?
openthedoorgetontheflooreverybodywalkthedinosaur
Black is always my main color. So easy.
jadejong
Black is my wardrobe.
CodyRayPowell
Every colour there has complimentary as black I’d guess that means black can go with anything
circlebreaker
It already goes with everything. Check the pic above, Black & White are paired, and in every single field.
mufasa1028
blankunderscore
Black and white basically go with everything
ThePedrodactyl
Black and dark blue or brown is terrible though.
whatwverwhatever
I must disagree, Black and dark Blue can work very nice. Brown and black is tricky though
blankunderscore
Agree black and brown is tricky
BeerIsProofThatGodLovesUsAndWantsUsToBeHappy
Except each other these days it seems.
iquestionthepinappleeveryday
We all just need a little more Mikey.
Behemoth090
I find myself constantly matching black with black
jadejong
And blue jeans.
Mital95
Same but just with a tiny bit of white.
orangecicle
Black isn't exactly a color.
Squirrelprophecies
Yep, it is a neutral. In clothing fashion blue is also a neutral which is why it has so many dots next to it in this chart.
kickyelanore
I feel like I'm back in grade school and you are that fucking kid who just loves pointing out things like that. I want to punch you.
orangecicle
Bring it cunt lol
Fanner50
So, it should be removed from the chart?
orangecicle
No I'm just saying it's not a color. I'm being goofy and pedantic. Goodness people are getting pissy.
Mital95
Black can go with all of these so just flip it. you just need be careful when using more than one color to match the certain palette.
carrionstorm
What if I just wear a black shirt and black pajama pants and/or basketball shorts(depending on weather) cause that's how I want to live
Mital95
Do it, this isn’t mandatory.
IAmNotTheDevil
But what if, and hear me out, style is subjective and you should wear what you like and not what other people tell you looks good?
[deleted]
[deleted]
IAmNotTheDevil
“And hopefully good.” I was agreeing with you till that. Shame.
Mital95
That’s totally fine, but some people like to match accordingly!
zamirovski
Style may be subjective but colors aren't. Some combinations will always be aestatically pleasing.
IAmNotTheDevil
And what is aesthetically pleasing is subjective. It’s amazing right? That people can think for themselves.
ChloePrice
This is helpful for dressing properly in professional and fashion-related environments as well as appealing to the most common perceptions.
IAmNotTheDevil
Black paired with black and more black. Professional environment sorted. And with fashion, again, subjective; so whatever.
governmentgavemeagun
Some places are very conservative, e.g. corporate banking. If you break societal standards, you are judged as ignorant/risky/rebellious/etc
idrinkcheapbeer
You can't convince me that this isn't just some arbitrary bullshit.
Crumply
It is
ZimGenzko
It is.
EmporioIvankov
It is.
SirTiberius
Definitely. One of the best colors to wear with brown is blue.
SierraTM
I love those two colours together.
mechanicalchaos
Actually, there is some methods to color matching that aren't total BS. But this seems pretty damn random....
ABluntForce
You have achieved accidental correctness, as human color perception is most certainly an arbitrarily-evolved trait.
ABluntForce
However, color theory is an invention of generations of human study of perceptible colors in nature, so at the very least, it's engineered.
ABluntForce
That said, as an artist, I can confirm that this particular chart is arbitrary as fuck. Mostly because we arbitrarily labeled these colors.
ABluntForce
There are also tons of colors in-between the ones above, on the color wheel, and some of them go better together than these.
ABluntForce
To boil that all down to a point: this chart is helpful under certain circumstances and useless under all others.
jmulderr
I feel like the '80s are underrepresented in this chart. Where's all the neon colors?
sharkhugs
Or the many shades of brown and yellow for the 70s
marcusosappus
They at least have the Miami Vice pastels.
LivingNPC
Always bet on black
elamenopey
Female artist's opinion: black washes people out, making them pale and blemishes more obvious. Black on black is bad, light ties over 1/2
elamenopey
Dark shirts is just.... No. And graphics on shirts look like a twelve year old chose it.
IAmNotTheDevil
Random opinion: People should wear what they like. Call me old fashioned but I like making my own choices without being told they’re wrong.
Mital95
No one is telling you what to wear, this is just a guide for styling and matching more efficiently.
IAmNotTheDevil
No I get the guide thing. But they’re saying that black on black is bad as a fact. That’s what I’m objecting to.
Mital95
I would object too, I wear black on black and it looks slick, I just throw in a white as a secondary or accessory.
elamenopey
I said it was my opinion
