Colours which clash

If the violet was a bright medium violet it would work well with the red. So, how does someone wear a light color with a darker color then? Like deep purple with what type of lighter purple family top? Would it be a tint? Having read this post and comments several times I am beginning to understand, I think!

Yes — both the intensity — so bright colours with bright colours, or muted colours with muted colours. And then the undertone — warm with warm and cool with cool. My mind now is completely boggled! The more I read it the more confused I become. Anyway, people compliment me most when I wear dark purple or navy or coral shades. I wear that color a lot. I recently bought blue jeans that are a light blue and also a darkish green jean.

What should I wear with those? Coral and purple can work well together if they are both warm. Navy can also be warm or cool, so if you have warm navy, then coral works perfectly. Your navy is a neutral too, which will tie easily with more colours. In Football if two teams come out onto the field wearing the same colour example Manchester United and Liverpool in home shirts it is known as a kit Clash two of the same colours clashing.

Otherwise it seems that the generation one was raised in determines what color pairings clash, harmonize or might be daring but acceptable. I learned the difference between pink-purples and blue-purples and that never the twain should meet. However pairings also depend on season imo as a burnt orange could be paired with a deep forest green in the fall. Purple I typically wear only with neutrals, either browns or grays or their love-child, taupe but I would wear lavendeR with a dark, forest green same undertones but different intensities.

Similarly I limit red to pairings with neutrals tan or gray but not brown but make exceptions with turquoise preferably softer shades and maybe red-orange with lots of neutrals for balance.
