They say red and green don’t look good, but Christy Chung wears a red and green suit. What do you think?

Red and green will not look bad. In the eyes of many international big-name designers, red and green are still a high-end color combination. I remember that Zhou Xun once wore a red and green outfit, and that look was matched by a French designer. After being matched by this French designer, the red and green combination that everyone thought was tacky turned out to be exceptionally good-looking. In addition, Zhou Xun himself is very elegant, which highlights the extraordinary temperament of red and green.

Color is composed of brightness, purity and hue. The red and green in our traditional sense refer to red and green with high purity. The combination of red and green does not look good, but if one of the hues is lowered or raised to create a difference in brightness and purity between the two hues, it will not look rustic and ugly.

For example, use dark green with dark red. Although they are both red and green, the brightness and purity have been reduced a lot, so that when paired together, they will have a retro temperament. These two colors are widely used in the field of home design. Dark green walls and dark red furniture have a classic French style and are very popular among young people nowadays.

Or increase the brightness of both red and green, turning it into light red with light green. When red and white are added too much, it becomes a cold color, while when green and white are added too much, it becomes a warm color. When these two colors are paired together, it will give people a very warm, harmonious, and romantic look. Feel.

In the Morandi color system, this very light red paired with very light green is a color combination that Europeans and Americans like very much. If used at home, it will create a very relaxed, lively and comfortable atmosphere.

Many fashion designers also like to use red and green tones to design clothing. I remember that one season Chanel’s main color was red and green.

No matter how ugly the color combination is, as long as you find a way to change the tone, it will produce good results. Therefore, we must not frame ourselves, and we should be bolder in color matching.
