Color Rule: The 60:30:10 Ratio
This rule originates from interior design and allocates colors in a 60%, 30%, and 10% ratio to ensure balance and harmony. In fashion, this translates to:
- 60% (Dominant Color): The primary color used for the largest pieces of your outfit, like a coat, main top, or dress.
- 30% (Secondary Color): Used for complementary items or layering pieces, such as bottoms or an inner layer.
- 10% (Accent Color): A small pop of color to highlight and enhance the overall look, often used for accessories, prints, or subtle details.
For example: A blue suit (60%), a white shirt (30%), and a red tie/scarf (10%). Following this rule helps create rich, visually harmonious, and layered color combinations.
