Orange Will the new fashion color?

Watching fashion week in New York, one thing was clear. orange is one of the colors that are coming strong for next year. It was seen on different catwalks and in the street style, that also sets the tone for what will come or become a trend. The million dollar question is, are we going to dare to use it?? why is it not an easy color to wear.

Orange is the mixture of 2 primary colors: Red and yellow, a color that in its temperature and tint, it is warm. This limits the spectrum of people who can use it and look good or find a suitable dye for their coloring.. I think its popularity is due to the psychological connotation of this color.

It is the perfect mix of happiness and physical action., or to materialize what gives us happiness. That is why it is the color of the second chakra, called sacral chakra, is associated with the materialization of the things that make us happy and with sexuality. Is optimistic, jovial and gives the feeling that everything will be fine. It is an ideal color when the economic situation is difficult: "Is it a strange coincidence?”

Returning to the properties of this color, orange is a warm tone that no matter how we alter it will remain warm. That is to say, if we apply a little gray to make it opaque it only softens it, mixing orange with black turns into a dark orange, that is to say, a color with more depth, white transforms it into a lighter orange. Orange mixed with red, turns orange red (still warm), now if we mix it with blue, stop being orange. We cannot add blue to change the color temperature, what will happen by increasing the amounts of blue is that the orange turns into a warm gray.

Another question that arises when inquiring about this color is: If the tonality (temperature) of a person is cold because orange shines? The reason has to do with the qualities of the color. Every color has saturation qualities, intensity and tone. Some of these characteristics predominate in the color of our eyes, skin and hair. So a strong winter or autumn woman can look good with a strong orange because the predominant characteristic in her coloration has to do with the intensity of color..

Orange is not such a commercial color in garments, but maybe bringing optimism even in the locker room is the best thing in these times.

    1. It is a difficult color to use so its temperature and tint are warm. But the truth is that it has been seen both in clothing and accessories in this SS18 fashion season. I think it's more because of the optimistic vibe that this color gives us. Thanks for your comment!!!

  1. Well I like orange, I think it favors blondes a lot and looks great to brighten up a total look in black or jeans. See what happens, in a few weeks we will know. Very interesting post. Kisses.

    1. It is a charming color and the truth is that in spring bright or pastel colors make a presence on the catwalk and street style. One of the fashion events that is beginning to set a trend is New York Fashion Week, but as you say we will have to wait for the season to end. Thanks for your comment! A hug!!!

  2. I like both colors, but not together hehe, for me better separately. Lately seen a lot with red and I combine it with white,navy or black, and I don't have orange clothes, although I do not dislike

    1. Hello Mariló, it is a complicated color to use, But it can.. there are some reds that look like very high oranges Or it will be the other way around? In its combination with black or dark blue, it fascinates me and it looks great in women who handle a strong color saturation.. Thanks for your comment.. A hug!

  3. How do I learn with your blog?! I was just thinking that I've been daring to wear yellow. My complexion has a warm undertone (celery color) and it always inhibits me to wear clothes of some colors (for fear of not seeing me more yellow) Nevertheless, it's all about the tone! The red oranges in the first line are ideal for me. I feel like a diva and it looks a bit like coral! … It is not an easy color to wear, maybe because you're remembered and it's hard to repeat, but it's worth having a few pieces and getting out of neutral!

    1. Strongly agree Isa. Some consultants think there are colors that should not be used, I personally think that there is a tone of each color for each person and it is good to use them even to raise our energy and spirits. Thank you very much for your comment. A hug!

    1. All of us can use all colors, what you have to look at is if the color saturation is right for you, if you look more like opaque or light colors. Rather, the qualities of color are also transferred to people and having this information helps you to know in which shades a color favors you the most. Thank you very much for your comment! A hug!

  4. The clothes you have chosen are beautiful but no matter how fashionable it is, it will not be a color that I use because there are only two colors that I hate and one is orange. In its more yellow or tan hues, it does convince me.
