The Color Wheel: The Secret to Unique Looks That No One Ever Told You

Have you ever looked at your closet and thought, “I don’t know what to wear”? Me too! But during my college years, I discovered something that changed the way I paired colors: the Color Wheel.

The Day I Discovered the Color Wheel

During a fashion styling class at university, the professor made us download a paid app (I already got a little nervous). "What are we going to do with this app now?" I thought. But he explained to us that the magic wheel was not only for matching the colors of clothes, but also for playing with colors in every part of life, from fashion to graphics, to gourmet dishes.
At first my classmates and I laughed, thinking it was a bit of an exaggeration. "Come on, who needs a wheel to match colors?" But the professor opened our eyes: the Color Wheel is not just an aesthetic game, it is a real scientific trick to harmonize colors to perfection!

What is the Color Wheel? And How It Can Change Your Life

The Color Wheel is a wheel that represents colors in a circle, showing their relationships. It is a fundamental tool for understanding how to combine colors harmoniously.

PS: There are so many articles and apps online that make it super easy to find the perfect color combinations with the Color Wheel. I, for example, use an app on my phone called "Color Wheel" and it's really handy!

Color Combination Schemes

Monochromatic

Variations of a single color, like different shades of blue. A sleek, cohesive look.

Complementary

Opposite colors on the wheel, like red and green. They create a strong contrast and make outfits pop.

Analogues

Close colors, such as blue and green. They offer a harmonious and relaxing look.

Triads

Three colors equally spaced on the wheel, such as red, yellow and blue. They offer a balanced and lively contrast.

Tetradics

Four equidistant colors, creating rich and dynamic combinations.
