Colours affect us in many ways, particularly our moods, our attitudes and also influence our
emotions.

We are fascinated by beautiful colours - for example flowers, plants, birds and the fishes in the sea - in the same way, we are attracted by colourful clothes - a colourful floral print dress, a bright green sweater or a red patterned tie. Some colours bring out the best skin in your skin tone, it make you look fresh and fabulous, hence it also light up your personality. Some colours make you look like a picture of authority and very respectable. You have to know to optimize them with a clever touch of combining colours so that you stand out in the crowd.

Bright colours These colours are appropriate to accompany neutrals for women and in ties for men.

                                        

E.g: fuchsia and turqoise.

Dark and cool colours These colours give a slimming effect.

E.g: black, navy blue, chocolate, brown, brungundy, olive and charcoal grey.

Light , warm and bright colours. These colours make shapes appear larger.

                        

                       

E.g: white , yellow, orange and red.
