It's the season of giving as well as receiving. We have two figures representing Christmas, an old man (Santa) and a young baby (Jesus). You're both happy and unhappy to see your family. It's the time to stay in and the time to go out.
Let's not forget the colors Red and Green.
Since when did those two colors go together? It's not often that you see someone wearing red and green at the same time. They seem too bold to wear together, too great of a contrast. But for some reason it works?
Well to give a quick explanation of how red and green work together, they are complementary colors.
Complementary colors are when you take the three primary colors, RED YELLOW BLUE, and you put them together with their opposites, GREEN PURPLE ORANGE.If you're interested here is a quick explanation of why these are complementary colors. If not, skip to the next paragraph. You choose one primary color, in this case Red. Then you take the other primary colors, yellow and blue, and mix them together. That creates Green. Taking the two opposite primary colors to create an entirely new opposite color is what makes it complementary. For more, go to the wikipedia page on complementary colors.
Complementary colors, though opposite, are used a lot in art and create amazing, bold art. They really pop when used together. Here are some examples:
Red and Green (Painting)
Orange and Blue (Movie Poster)
Yellow and Purple (Photo)
They look really awesome and bold together. So why not try them out in an outfit?
If you want to be only a little bold go for using one color as the main hue of your outfit and use the other color in your accessories!
