I recently resumed my drawing and painting lessons, and I want to tell you about color combinations. In any situation when it comes to color, there are good and bad combinations of shades. Whether it's a manicure or clothes, a drawn card or even a home renovation, it's always important to choose a beautiful and interesting color combination.
With regard to clothing, this is even more important, if you can paint your house and your favorite bedroom in any shades you like, and invite only loved ones there, then clothing is the most important social tool that allows us to form the first opinion about each other, and therefore we cannot allow your clothes said the wrong thing about you. How to choose good shades and find interesting pairings? What are the rules about this? How to choose any tones with shine?
A little theory
The easiest way to choose suitable shade- use the color wheel. It is divided into 12 sectors and represents the primary colors. Also, each sector is graduated from light (in the center) to dark (along the edge). What can we deduce from this circle?- White harmonizes with absolutely any tone and makes it brighter.
- Black will help dilute any ensemble and at the same time give it depth.
- Complementary and similar color neighborhoods are visible.
- You can print triads, tetrads and squares.
This good combination, and most often it is used by many clothing lines - they produce the same models in complementary shades, and then if you buy a purple blouse, you can always choose a pistachio skirt to go with it (and vice versa).
Similar pairs- those that stand next to each other on the color wheel. Such pairs are often found in architectural compositions. Surely you have seen when a house is painted light lemon, and the architectural elements - slopes and cornices, balustrades and architraves - are green. This solution is also found very often in accessories - for example, it is much easier to find yellow shoes with orange trim than yellow ones with blue or purple.
Triads, tetrads and squares are patterns that are drawn according to a special shape on the color wheel. For a triad it is a triangle, for a tetrad it is a rectangle, and a square speaks for itself.
Look at different color wheels to understand the principle, and you will never go wrong in choosing the right shade.
Neutral
Neutral colors are called black, white and gray - they go with almost everything and look good together. However, it should also be taken into account that a person dressed in black or gray from head to toe is bad manners; monochrome outfits have long become a sign of bad taste. IN summer period It is appropriate to be dressed in white from head to toe, but here accessories can help maintain brightness - a bag, shoes, bright decorations and details.Any combination gray must be well balanced. As a rule, fabrics or accessories of a pure gray shade are rarely found on sale; most often the color has a cold or warm undertone. Accordingly, when choosing color combinations with gray, you need to look at:
- to the warmth of gray;
- on the warmth of the selected color;
- on the lightness of two shades and their compatibility.
Warmth of Gray
Gray can be warm or cold.
Warm shades are best combined with warm tones - yellow, orange, red, pink, crimson.
Cool gray looks perfect if you add blue, lilac, green or blue to it.
Warmth of the chosen color
Even yellow can be cold. It is best to choose those paints whose temperature corresponds to the main temperature of the color. Warm yellow and cool blue look good with cool gray.Lightness
This is the position that the chosen color would occupy on a stretch from darkest to lightest. It is best if the gray does not compete with his partner. Can't choose? Choose the most bright shades or pastel shades, but it’s better to refrain from dark ones.
Warm
Warm colors on the color wheel range from yellow to violet. This is a pleasant range that lifts the mood and gives a feeling of warmth and light. However, choosing color pairs here is not so easy. Naturally, when I talk about the proximity of red or yellow, these are those combinations where the color I indicated is the main one (that is, it predominates visually).
The best combination of red is with white, blue and black. These are pure shades that were worn by kings and queens; this range (without black) is represented on the Russian tricolor and the flags of other states. Use pure shades, and then you can definitely be confident in your choice.
The combination of burgundy color with shades of blue and gray turns out to be interesting. In general, any berry tones will suit burgundy. But it is better to choose green tones with a cool undertone.
Great combination Brown with beige - you get a pleasant chocolate combination. Shades of cocoa and coffee, tea and milk, pastries and Ivory- many color combinations with brown evoke thoughts of desserts.
Naturally, warm tones go well together - brown and light orange look great together, and the combination of red, orange and yellow was once ultra-fashionable.
Want to add some flair to the combination? Try complex tones. Combine brown with plum, beige and blackberry, warm inky and cool turquoise. Yes, don't forget about the combination of brown and mint color. The combination of mint and chocolate evokes thoughts of entertainment, pleasure and relaxation.
Do you like extravagance? Add some accessories in a deep shade - for example, cobalt blue will set off orange or pink well, and turquoise looks good on shades of yellow and green.
Cold
Cool colors are those from green to purple. These are shades of grass and water, cool and refreshing, they bring peace and tranquility. If you want to use cool shades in the interior, then it is best to give preference to bright ones pure colors, the compatibility of which is very high with other colors.
Best combination for the home - dark blue with white and red. Moreover, red should be a highlight, there should not be a lot of it, but it’s better not to skimp on blue.
My favorite shade is turquoise, also called turquoise and Tiffany's favorite shade. Turquoise color goes well with a variety of shades. You can choose warm pink and rich orange, which can beautifully set off the turquoise color. Interesting combination turquoise shade It turns out with coral - the reddish-red palette emphasizes the turquoise color well.
It's also worth trying the combination of blue color with cold yellow and light green tones, and blue will help to shade the green tones. In general, the combination of green with yellow and blue is classic for spring and spring holidays, so try to find your own solutions in this color scheme(and don't forget to look at the color wheel).
Try to pay more attention to the combination of green with other colors - this year the Panton company announced Greenery as the shade of 2017, so it would be a sin not to acquire a couple of green wardrobe items and buy some emerald jewelry for home. By the way, beautiful combinations colors with green can be selected online - color palette will be compiled automatically.
Do you want to compose interesting combinations purple? Try light cool colors - lilac, pink, green. Don't like deep purple? Try lilac and lavender, and don't forget lilac.

It is not for nothing that the eyes are called the mirrors of the soul. According to a considerable number of people, they really can tell a lot about their owner. And the point is not only in their cut or expression, but also in color, which can tell about a person’s character. You can even determine compatibility between people by eye color. This technique does not have any scientific justification, so you can trust it, or you can study it just for fun.
What character do the owners of eyes of one color or another have?
Blue eyed people
The owners of such “mirrors of the soul” are distinguished by their energy and desire for everything new. These people are often ambitious and creative. As a rule, they are successful in life and they achieve everything using their perseverance and tireless work.
When communicating with a blue-eyed person, you will notice that he has a cheerful character, he is a friendly and sociable interlocutor. He rarely resorts to the help of others, relying solely on his own strength.
For those around them, these people are very attractive not only as good comrades, but also as candidates for a couple. Owners of blue eyes are temperamental and sensual, and they also need the support and warmth of a relationship with their significant other.
If your loved one has exactly this color of the “mirrors of the soul,” here is what I can advise you:
It is believed that best compatibility according to the eye color of these people with brown eyes, who, when paired with them, are good listeners and are ready to become a reliable friend. The characteristics of blue-eyed people and their compatibility with others are similar to those of gray-eyed and blue-eyed people.
Brown-eyed people
If there is an opportunity to get help from others, they will gladly accept it.
A person with brown eyes tirelessly generates new ideas, but to implement them they also usually need assistants, who, as a rule, offer themselves as such.
Brown-eyed people are naturally attractive. In addition, they take care of their appearance and manners, which makes them even more attractive.
How to build a strong and lasting relationship with the owner of brown eyes?
- If possible, support him in all his endeavors;
- If you have time and energy, try to take on the implementation of at least part of his ideas;
- Don't try to bend your other half to your will. This will lead to nothing but mutual worries and resentment.
As for eye color compatibility, those with brown eyes have the strongest alliance with blue-eyed and green-eyed people, but it may be more difficult for them to build relationships with other owners of brown “mirrors of the soul.” This is due to the fact that two independent and, at the same time, often needing help natures may not find a common language.
Green-eyed people
They harbor two energies at once - cold and warm, because the color of their eyes is a mixture
yellow and blue. That is why owners of green “mirrors of the soul” are always in search of harmony both in the world around them and within themselves.
It is important for them to feel confident, and their loved ones can help them with this if they show more often that they are proud of them. The love compatibility of green-eyed people with their soulmate is also based on this principle. You can “give wings” to them by admiring them.
But it's not that simple. You have to match high requirements, to which, in their opinion, their close person. Otherwise, you risk not only not earning their goodwill, but also causing an openly rude and disdainful attitude towards yourself.
It is worth noting that green-eyed people are also demanding of themselves. It is the compliance with the “bar” they themselves have set that you have to evaluate in order to win the heart of the owner of the “witch’s” eyes. Speaking about the compatibility of people with green eyes with loved ones, it is important to say that it would also be useful to evaluate their abilities with which they are endowed by nature. Typically they are creative personalities with a well-developed imagination. A brown-eyed person will be a good partner for them.
How do people with similar eye color get along?
It is believed that people with similar energy cannot always find mutual language and create a strong couple. But it is not always the case.
How might they behave?
- Two brown-eyed people. As already mentioned, this union is very difficult. Although
They feel good together; the desire for leadership of each of them can destroy this couple. Being ambitious, partners may even experience mutual feelings of envy, and in some cases, try to “outdo” each other in their achievements. Nevertheless, if necessary, each of them is ready to provide all possible assistance to their partner, and a common goal will make their union strong; - If both partners have green eyes. Harmony and mutual understanding reign in this couple, so it is strong, and the relationship between lovers may well be long-lasting. However, they should be careful with their excessive feelings of jealousy, which can cause conflicts. Refusal to achieve new goals and leading a measured, boring life will also have a negative impact on the union. These factors can even destroy relationships;
- Blue-eyed partners. Judging by the character of the owners of such eye color as blue, the likelihood of them full compatibility and long-term relationships is very high. These romantics are happy together, but, as in the case of other couples, they should not concentrate their attention exclusively on each other. Personal is important career, which will allow partners to remain interesting to each other.
It’s up to you to believe this method of determining compatibility or not, but if you think it’s correct, it will help you not only understand how suitable your partner is for you, but also identify ways for the further development of your union.
Having met young man or the girl in our life, we are increasingly trying to search the Internet for a compatibility test. To do this, we look at horoscopes, calculate simple mathematical equations, judge by blood type, etc. Did you know that compatibility can also be determined by eye color. Yes, yes, absolutely right - it is the color of the eyes that, as it turns out, can say a lot about a particular person, including compatibility in eye color.
____________________________
Option one: brown and green eyes
If two people meet, brown eyes and green eyes, then initially their relationship will not be at all cordial, and nothing can afford to think that their relationship could develop into good side. Brown and green color the eyes are symbols of fire and water. And as you understand, in nature they cannot exist together, or rather they can, but in special cases. It's the same with people.
Constant conflicts different views on certain things, integrity - all this is obvious. But, initially and predominantly, this is where it ends. If the owners of these eyes nevertheless become friends with each other, then their union is doomed to a promising future. Remember the truth - water boils under the influence of fire! This means that the brown-eyed person is able to stimulate the green-eyed person to take decisive action, fight and creativity. Now, what can put out the fire? That's right, just water. That is, green eyes will always protect brown eyes from unwanted actions.
In this union there is very an important condition Still, mutual understanding remains, that is, listening to each other’s opinions. And since water still remains the leader in such relationships, fire must remember this every minute!
If brown eyes allow you to take the palm at least for a while, then such a wonderful tandem will most likely collapse. With this disintegration, water will react to this quite calmly and, in principle, everything will pass painlessly for it, which cannot be said about fire. He will suffer and suffer for a long time.
Option two: brown and gray eyes
Most likely, you have already observed when brown eyes in a relationship maintain a certain distance from gray eyes. Such people cannot trust each other with any secrets, and they cannot become close friends. But at the same time, such people will never refuse to provide any service to a friend. Brown eyes and gray eyes make great work colleagues. They simply complement each other.
When taking decisive action, fire can always rely on the strength, wisdom and confidence of the earth. And the earth, communicating with fire, can always borrow courage and dynamism from it. And that is why any advice to each other is always successful and has the right to life. There is not and cannot be a leader in this tandem - everything is interconnected here!
Option three: brown and blue eyes
The following statement perfectly describes such people: “apart is boring, together is cramped.” Such people are interested in communication, and although sometimes it is not very comfortable, it is always good. It’s good because their communication is not complete without disputes, bickering, etc. But this only makes them excited. At the same time, as a rule, brown eyes are always the instigator of all sorts of barbs, because in this union fire acts as the leader.
Blue eyes don't even pretend to be leadership - they don't need it. But if they get bored with brown eyes, then he can always run away to the third. The air never experiences moral feelings from such actions, so such a union has the right to long-term existence, but only on condition that brown eyes spare blue eyes and do not cross the dangerous line.
Option four: hazel and hazel eyes
Are brown eyes compatible with brown eyes? How do you think. Let's find out. They understand each other perfectly, but sometimes they feel cramped in tandem, they want freedom, they want to be taken into account, etc. Such people can often pull the blanket over themselves, and if suddenly your ally has success in some business, then this will cause envy in you, who are also brown.
Brown eyes can mutually weave intrigue, but at the same time understand exactly: if a helping hand is needed from you, you will always extend it without hesitation. And such help, as a rule, is always selfless.
Relationships between brown eyes are always long-lasting and fruitful, especially if you are united by one goal in life or work. In tandem, you can always give a good rebuff to your “enemy” - a harmful boss, neighbor, company, etc. But if you don’t have such an opponent, then in order to “flex your muscles,” you can play dirty tricks on each other. Remember that in such fights there will be no winner - you will both lose, and think why? Oh, those brown eyes...
Option five: gray and blue eyes
You are very different and there can be no friendship between you. There is mutual activation in your relationship. If the air becomes wind, then it will easily boil the water, foam it, storm it, agitate it... And this indicates that Blue eyes green eyes can inspire determination, movement and search for new things. Water can achieve a lot in its life, especially if it responds to the call of the wind.
All this is good, but the wind can also extinguish the waves...

It would seem that there could be something in common between eye color and a person’s character. However, some dependence was still revealed during observations. Those with eyes of the same color have, to one degree or another, the same character traits. Knowing them, you can determine compatibility of people by eye color.
Character by eye color
To talk about eye color compatibility, you must first study the character traits inherent in each color. Don't believe me? Read and compare with yourself, your family and friends.
Rice. Determining compatibility by eye color
If among them there is owners of brown eyes, then it is impossible to deny that these people are witty and sociable, emotional and very hot-tempered, but they always achieve what they want.
Green eye color- a sign of straightforwardness and ardent temperament. The owners of such eyes are very jealous, cunning and principled people. Categorical and passionate people.
Owners of light brown eyes hardworking, very reliable and diligent. In addition, they are characterized by excessive daydreaming.
Brown-green eyes possessed by people with artistic taste, vulnerable and passionate. They are very responsible, but tend to take everything too personally, which can cause them to become depressed.
Blue eyes indicate that their owner is a sentimental person. His mood changes often. Touchy and capricious.
Presence of gray shades in eye color makes their owners hard as stone. For example, the owners of gray-green eyes are quite cruel and intractable people. Strong-willed and purposeful.
Dark gray eyes are able to reward their owner with stubbornness, determination and courage. And in addition, hot temper and rancor.
Having tried all of the above on yourself and your friends, you understand that it is no longer possible to deny the relationship between eye color and people’s character. Although, of course, one cannot judge a person based only on the color of his eyes, nevertheless, this information allows one to make a more complete picture of the person.
All people strive to love and be loved. Some are looking for love in clubs with similar interests, others are looking for appearance, and others are looking for a life partner with the right eye color. Could be so.
Brown and green/grey-green eyes
Such a couple complements each other wonderfully in many aspects. Temperament, sensuality and responsibility of both partners ensure sexual compatibility. Like an extension of each other, these two can look forward to a long and happy marriage.
Brown and blue eyes
Misunderstanding reigns in this couple. The blue-eyed dreamer is in the clouds, while the brown-eyed partner wants communication and emotions! Hence the instability in the sexual sphere. Not the most successful union possible. You can hardly count on a long-term relationship. Although there are exceptions to any rule.
Blue and green eyes
But the blue-eyed partner will be very comfortable under the hard wing of the green-eyed jealous man. Moreover, the latter does not require a storm of emotions in a relationship. A very harmonious couple.
Blue and gray eyes
Difficult, but possible. And the less gray in the eyes, the more reliable and easier the relationship will be. Otherwise, the owner of dark gray eyes will simply strangle his blue-eyed partner with his harshness and tyranny. To preserve the union, the latter will, in any case, have to come down to earth at least sometimes and be ready to give in.
Generally speaking, owners of brown and green eyes are preferable in terms of sexual and psychological compatibility, largely due to their positive qualities. Self-confidence, the ability to communicate easily and wit - all this attracts and encourages you to meet such people.
The main thing is to remember that eye color is not a death sentence. Any character traits can be adjusted if desired. So does eye color. Colored lenses of all imaginable and inconceivable colors are at your service. Do not be afraid! Experiment! Surprise! Everything will be fine!
