Colors are everywhere its different forms and shades. Fashion industry plays very beautifully with colors on clothes, accessory and jewelry.

Color theory is very simple yet interesting. Our primary colors are Red, Blue and yellow and our secondary colors are purple, orange and green. We can make secondary colors by mixing and two primary colors in equal proportion. Crux is that primary colors compliment well with secondary color.

For Example:

• Red compliments with green color.
• Yellow compliments with purple color.
• Blue compliments with orange color

Lack of understanding of colors and their complimenting colors can create havoc of expensive clothing and jewelry. Colors theories come into existence for creating the perfect blend of jewelry with clothes.  

For Example:

• Gold will be washed out on yellow dress but colored stoned jewelry either in red or green or blue will work wonder.
• Silver will not work over purple and grey but gold (yellow) will look wonderful on purple and grey.

There are many ways to match and mix colors in jewelry and jewelry with clothing. Color theory works around the color wheel. To create an attractive and impactful impression matching should be based on the proven color schemes.
