Color combination between an outfit and its accessories is an art, one that you must master if you own or are planning to start a wholesale jewelry business venture, thus, here you will find a little about color theory applied to fashion and tips on how to get the best out of it.

Primary colors are red, blue and yellow; any other color results from the combination of these, as mixed in different amounts. The secondary colors, purple, orange and green, are created from the combination of any two primary ones in the same amount.

Primary and secondary colors provide the complementary colors, which are the ones that are directly opposite to each other on the color wheel. The complement for red is green, for yellow is purple, and for blue is orange. Talk about contrast! This is the definitely the way to go if you want to stand out. Combine a yellow suit with purple jewelry to appear sophisticated and even playful, depending on the tones.

However, color is not only about appearing flashy, there are ways to use color and still be subtle. On the color wheel, the two colors that are next to the main color's complement form the triad colors, which guide the way for selecting the jewelry and accessories to match.

That same yellow suit when combined with silver, or blue, or even red will make the person look elegant and professional. For the always-necessary gray business suit, for example, you first must establish if the gray is cool or warm. It will look more red or yellow if it is warm, or bluer, if it is cool. If it were cool, the complement of blue is orange, which triad is red and yellow. Based on this, gold will go great with that suit.

As a general rule, follow these steps every time you want to complement an outfit with the perfect jewelry to make a statement:

-Establish the base color of the clothes; it will be the main color.

-Find the complement for that color using the color wheel. To stand out, use that complement.

-Take a look at the triad next to the complement; these are the colors you will most likely use to accessorize. You can use both colors or just one, in its different tones.

If you follow these steps, any outfit will make the person stand out in the right way.
