When fashion designer Lauren Conrad embraced the color wheel as a wardrobe color-matching tool, she broke free from the grays and blacks in her closet and begin infusing more life into her ensembles. You, too, can use the color wheel to help you determine what color goes best with your favorite burgundy items of clothing.
