GirlsGuideTo | Welcome to the Block Party

With color blocking being the latest and hottest trend, I am in my glory and am loving life! Color blocking can be risky and there are many ways to pair colors based on color schemes, tones, shades, and hues. Ex: If you pair green and yellow together you are a creating an analogous scheme because they are next together on the color wheel. According to Lucky magazine, If you are having trouble pairing colors together try these out:

1. Cobalt Blue, Yellow, Orange
2. Chocolate Brown, Pink, Peach
3. Purple, Bright Blue, Teal
4. Deep Blue, Bright Pink, White
5. Coral, Grey, Ivory

Color blocking is a trend based on the simplicity of fun. It is all about creating the most constrasted and an unlimited number of color combinations possible. Below are examples directly from my blog, steelmagnoliasfashion.blogspot.com.

Yellow, Purple, Red, and Green
