Finding the color combos that complement your skin tone can be challenging. Various colors are available, all with varying degrees of vibrancy, and we all know that some hues are more significant than others. Every skin tone is different, and every combination of colors enhances the greatest features of each person!

If you have dark skin, you must know that you've won the genetic lottery because dark skin tones look amazing with practically every shade of clothing. However, some colors and combinations work better than others, and that's what you're about to find out.

Color Categories

Colors can be categorized into bold, muted, and neutral colors, and you have to know the proper combinations for your skin tone to give you the best look. But before we go into color combos, let's define these;

Bold colors are bright and heavily saturated, making them appear very striking. Obvious examples would be red, yellow, orange, etcetera. 

Muted colors are the opposite of bold and are greyed, dulled, or desaturated. Muted colors can be achieved when you mix a bold color with black, white, or an earthy color to desaturate it. The result is a warmer tone, which is easier to work with. 

Neutral colors, however, are subdued tones that don't seem to have any color but frequently have undertones that change depending on the lighting. Neutral hues include beige, taupe, gray, cream, brown, black, and white. Although neutral colors are not represented on the color wheel, they go well with primary and secondary colors.

Generally, bold colors are best on dark skin because they add a certain contrast to dark skin, which is attractive. So how can you pair them for the perfect style? 

How to Combine Bold Colors 

Going back to the beginning is a fantastic place to start when it comes to combining colors. The color wheel will be familiar to everyone who took part in primary school.

If you need a reminder, the relationship between colors is shown visually in this circular spectrum. The foundation of color theory, which analyzes and explains how colors go together, is also provided by this concept.

You can find several color categories on the color wheel. The foundation of the color wheel comprises the primary colors yellow, red, and blue.

In essence, combining these tones yields every other color. The three main colors produced when primary colors are combined are called secondary colors: orange, purple, and green.

Then, there are the colors that are regarded as tertiary. Combining primary and secondary colors produces these hues. As a result, you get vibrant, three-dimensional colors like coral, aqua, and burgundy.

Pair complementary (or opposing) colors together to produce a striking, eye-catching color combination. Use adjacent hues to create appealing, tonal combos if you prefer something a little more subdued.

When it comes to blending colors, there is no absolute rule. However, don't be afraid to use the color wheel if you are confused.

So, what are examples of bold colors that pair well together?

Navy Blue and Red

Season after season, navy blue is a wardrobe must that looks terrific. A black woman dressed in crimson always draws attention. When you combine the two, you get an appearance that is impossible to miss.

When it comes to this daring outfit, a red blazer and indigo jeans may shift from a casual Friday at work to a cool night out with ease. 

Camel and Oxblood

Every item in your winter wardrobe will look instantly better thanks to the deep, burgundy shade of oxblood. This conventional color scheme exudes a luxurious, pricey quality. The neutral color camel is a must-have and flatters almost everyone. Together, they produce an undoubted air of sophistication.

An exquisite way to wear these colors is with an oversized camel tunic and oxblood leggings. Or, create a versatile and fashionable outfit by wearing a camel sweater dress with oxblood accessories.

Orange and Pink

This color combo is not for the weak. You can be sure that everyone will stare at you for daring to combine these two rich, bright colors. The result, however, is a stylish appearance that exudes confidence when done properly.

Match vivid orange pants with a hot pink blouse for a standout look. Alternately, wear orange sweaters with hot pink shorts for a lovely summer's style. Always make this combo appear deliberate.

Blue and Pink

Pink and blue don't go together all that frequently. But when done right, they really offset one another.

Depending on how you style it, you can either appear beautifully airy or vibrantly lively. You get to decide!

Hot pink and cobalt blue are vibrant, enjoyable, and energizing. Surprisingly elegant is hot pink trousers (or skirt) with a dazzling blue shirt or jumper. Alternatively, pair a faded chambray shirt with a pastel pink patterned skirt for a breezy springtime look. Muted blue and Barbie pink have a high-fashion appeal for something even edgier. The possibilities are limitless when as far as these colors are concerned.

Why Monochromatic Outfits Work

Why do monochrome outfits work in so many contexts? Many reasons exist!

It brings together elements that could otherwise clash.

Have you ever gotten a dress and been stumped on how to style it properly? Do you need to put a look together using several textures and patterns? You can move more easily in monochrome. A pleated skirt in the same maroon shade will look lovely with a bulky sweater. 

Moreover, patterns look better in monochrome. When one color dominates everything, you may be more daring with patterns, from dots to paisley to flowery blur.

Express confidence! 

You may make unexpected decisions if you use echoes of one color throughout your outfit. You find yourself getting your first pair of hunter-green shoes if you choose that color scheme. The time for a gold briefcase may have come if you're gushing over a gold suit. Decide that today is a chrysanthemum yellow day before moving on. When even the clutch or jacket matches perfectly, it gets interesting.

Chenille with leather? That's right, ma'am, all blue. In truth, your message is "all in." Whatever works for you, go all-white or all-red. A monochromatic style can show that you are a person who knows what you want and goes after it.

Lengthens and slims a figure while also unifying a look.

You might also search for color blocks, possibly with a richer shade below the waist, to anchor the figure and define the hips. A lighter shade will typically make that area of the figure larger. Of course, black is the traditional color for this situation, but putty or oatmeal is also great. 

It makes a single, contrasting piece stand out.

When contrasted with all-black attire, that stunning headpiece or outrageous purse has its chance to shine. Accessories may stand out less against a background of their hue, so let them shine as they should. 

Finally, go with monochromatic styles if you cannot pair different bold colors well against your skin tone. The most important thing is to choose colors that highlight your complexion rather than hide them. Whatever works for you.
