The general concept of Spring colour is lightness without getting too near white, and brightness, meaning more colour pigment than Summer. Midnight blue or black with silver or red details would suit any Winter. The orange cast of Autumn is mostly gone, though Dark Winter has some Autumn mixed in and can figure out a touch of dark orange, as pairs #1 and #2.įor True and Bright Winter, choose white or silver stitching, depending on the styling and rest of the item, meaning if they’re richly coloured and dark or if the design is relaxed, orange stitching is inherent and understood in jeans. The more faded pairs are either quite dark, quite blue, or both. Not every colour is dark, but they are all bright. The strength and purpose of jeans aligns well with Autumn colours and textures. A dark gold, orange or burnt orange cast in the fabric as well as the stitching, helps blue belong in a warm group of colours.Ĭoloured jeans are an excellent option for Autumn, available in dark teal or bronzy purple. #2 is lighter and might be a good choice for Soft Autumn. Once again, we are inside value range for the blues. AutumnĪutumn is soft compared with Winter and we see a little more fade, as well as less sense of black. If you picture moving the Summer jeans over to Spring, they’d have less energy. Pair #2 is slightly greenish, a soft blue-green, with less green than Spring #2. They're inside value range for the Summers, and only moderately faded because neither Summer colours nor their neutrals are faded to the point of colourless, the opposite actually, neutrals have colour. These blues are softer, meaning less blue, than Spring, and they have a wash of pink or violet in the blue. They have a lightweight feeling that works well for Spring. #4 might be an example of a good average pair, with some yellow coming through as the warmth of Spring. #3 are at the darker end, maybe best for True and Bright Spring, with enough blueness that any Spring could wear them (and enough blue and darkness to be fine for any Winter). #2 have a green tinge that looks more like Caribbean ocean than an opaque, dense, heavy, or metallic colour. The jeans would be hard to slide into the other rows. In #1, we see the brightness as a lively blue, with more colour pop and less sense of softness (visible gray) than Summer. Secondly, I make colour combinations to decide how well the blue works. If the blue is too bright, say, or too dark to be reasonable with the palette, it belongs with another Season. With blue, as it warms, it can become greener as yellow mixes in like turquoise, or violet as red mixes in, but this is harder to apply in practice than for yellow or red. My solution is to focus on what I trust myself to know, meaning the soft to bright aspect and the light to dark range. I find the warmth or coolness of blue less predictable than other colours. Traditional colour-wheel primary blue is cool but there are thousands of blues. Your odds are better using the entire strip than aiming for an identical match for a single colour.ģ. Your natural colours have 3 properties, a particular warm-cool setting, a soft-bright setting, and a certain light dark range. Look for a colour to fit or belong with the Season palette strip of similar colours. Taking that one step further, stay inside the value range for blue, which can go darker than say yellow, which is a lighter colour by nature.Ģ. Stay inside the value range, meaning the light to dark range for the Season. For all Seasons, ideas that we’ll see in various places:ġ.
