Class ex.3: fashion boutiques

Principle of order (using contrasting color scheme) is applied.

The proportion of the complementary color is the same (using equal differences) to make the overall color scheme visually balance.

I repeat the color red and green in different areas.



Principle of Novelty

Hope that unexpected combination will draw attention to people. I match contrasting and adjacent colors together by the color of VM & clothing or accessories.(e.g.purple, red and green)



>>I used the above principles to create fresh and energetic mood to the shopping enviroment.

Italy Murano Glass

The color combination of Murano Glass (traditional italian culture) is arousing, which coincidently match with the core color of Miu Miu. So, I guess Miu Miu's collection may be inspired by Murano Glass which famous for fascnating colors.

Class ex.2: fashion collections

Complemantary color scheme is used to create strong contrast ( the colors chosen are constant in saturation but different in hues)

And I applied various theories of complementary colors, tended to increase energy and vitality of the collection, which match with the casual-stylish design.

1st : double complementary (red & green and brownish-yellow & dark purple)

2nd & 5th : split complementary (brownish-yellow, dark purple and dark blue)


3rd: analogous color combination (red & purple)


4th & 6th: split complementary (red, green & blue)

This is another set that I practised (before the lesson).

I applied complementary color scheme as well, but it is obvious that the variation is fewer than that of the upper one.
