For example, the athlete clothing that exploded at last year's Rio Olympics in Brazil. Bai Yansong teased that our athletes’ clothing is tomatoes and scrambled eggs. People all over the country laughed.

In fact, using tomatoes and scrambled eggs to make fun of this red and yellow color combination is not Bai Yansong’s first. As soon as the PetroChina logo was released, it was ridiculed as tomatoes and scrambled eggs.

Some people say that wearing red and yellow clothes makes you look like an out-and-out bumpkin, and he is undoubtedly ugly. Look at the restaurant signs all over the streets and alleys, they are all Chinese red. This is actually all a misunderstanding. When Shell from California established its first gas station in 1915, it chose red and yellow, the colors of the Spanish flag, as its trademark color scheme to differentiate itself from its competitors. In addition, the signboards of many foreign brand restaurants also use red as the main color: McDonald's, Burger King.

Similar color matching. Similar colors refer to the same hue properties (colors within a 15° angle in the hue circle) but have different shades of chroma.

This is the simplest and most basic matching method. It refers to the matching of two colors of the same type that are the same or similar in the same hue and have different shades of light and dark. The advantages of this combination are softness, elegance and ability. Regardless of whether the overall color trend is bright or not, the tones are easy to harmonize; the disadvantage is monotony. If worn well, it will give people a smart and refreshing feeling, but if worn poorly, it will look very mediocre and rustic. In order to avoid being ordinary and rustic, you can use small items (bags, shoes, scarves, etc.) to create highlights.

Contrast color matching. Two colors between 120°-180° on the color wheel are contrasting colors. Contrasting colors put together can give people a strong sense of repulsion.

Contrast colors are common color combinations. This kind of matching method refers to using strong contrasting colors or colors with obviously different names, that is, matching two colors that are far apart.

When worn, it gives people a gorgeous and light feeling, which fully reflects their personality. If you don't wear it well, you will be very tacky and end up at the scene of a car accident. Everyone should choose this method carefully.

Split color matching. Split toning is to differentiate and adjust the tones of the picture. The separated tones are the highlights and shadows of the picture, which are only for the brightness of the picture, not the color.

Separate color matching refers to the color matching method of matching colorful clothing with black, white and gray. Add a small amount of the third color (black, white, and gray) to the two colors (bright colors) to separate the two colors, making the relationship between the two colors clearer and more separated. The advantage is that it won't be a big problem to match that color. But be aware that the same color will appear bright when paired with white, and the same color will appear dim when paired with black. When everyone is dressing, be careful not to match calm colors together, as this way looks very old-fashioned.

The safest matching method is: use black and white as the base, and the upper or lower body is in bright colors.

Complementary color matching. Complementary colors are two colors that are 180 degrees opposite on the hue wheel. The contrast is the strongest...

Complementary color matching refers to the relationship between each hue and the opposite hue, that is, the combination of two colors. For example, red and green, green and orange, black and white. In this way of dressing, you should pay attention to the primary and secondary colors, so as to achieve the best effect. Don't wear a red top with green trousers, it's very tacky.

The rule of wearing multiple clothes: if you wear the right color, you will look good in anything.
