How to Coordinate Colors

Coordinating colors is important in both fashion and interior design. Here are a few basic steps to coordinate colors when decorating your home or buying clothing for yourself or others.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Have a color chart handy that has all the primary, secondary and tertiary colors. Using a color chart will help you see what colors blend well together without guessing. A color chart is also very helpful when choosing paints and blending the right colors together when decorating your home.

2. Place different patterns and solids together to discover which ones go well and blend well together. It is more than okay to mix and match colors and even patterns with other patterns as long as it blends well together. This works with buying clothes or even decorating your home.

3. Choose colors that compliment your skin tone when buying clothes.

4. Use a makeup book that reveals the colors that go best with certain skin tones to get an idea of what color makeup best suits your skin tone when buying makeup.
