✨ Six Essential Color Coordination Techniques✨
① Monochromatic Color Scheme:
Monochromatic color schemes also fall under monochrome styling, where colors remain within a single hue. Coordination is achieved by varying brightness, saturation, and transparency. For instance, a pink-toned manicure conveys a lively and adorable yet well-organized impression.
② Analogous Color Scheme:
Analogous colors, such as yellow and green or blue and purple, which share a 60-degree angle on the color wheel, create a minimalist Instagram-inspired nail look. This pairing offers subtle contrast, typically evoking a sense of calm, comfort, and understated elegance.
③Triangular Complementary Color Scheme:
Select three colors forming a triangular opposition on the color wheel. Nail designs created with this combination typically convey a refreshingly bright, sunny, and lighthearted vibe.
④ Complementary Color Pairing:
Complementary colors are those positioned 180 degrees apart on the color wheel. However, we must be mindful that using them without careful consideration can result in a very low-quality aesthetic. We should adhere to the principle of high saturation for the dominant color and low saturation for the secondary color, with the dominant color occupying a larger area and the secondary color a smaller area.
⑤ Distributed Complementary Color Pairing:
If you still struggle with mastering complementary color combinations, distributed complementary pairing offers an alternative approach. Instead of using a color’s direct complementary shade, you select its adjacent hues. For example, the complementary color of magenta is yellow-green, so you would use the adjacent colors yellow and green.
⑥ Luminance Contrast Pairing:
Select any four colors from the color wheel that can be connected to form a rectangle. This pairing method is frequently used in the macaron color palette we often discuss. It creates a rich yet harmonious color scheme.
