We're playing with color once again this week. This time we're supposed to organize the colors by categories: neutrals, near neutrals, and statement colors.
Neutrals
There's a bit of mixing between neutrals and near neutrals for me so I tried to divide them out based on how often I wear them (both in frequency and amounts). The majority of my wardrobe is greyscale based, particularly along the darker end of the spectrum. I would like to continue, possibly encourage this by thinking about patterns and the like instead of just using color blocking.
Near Neutrals
The taupey brown color I would like to eventually have as a neutral staple but since I don't own much/don't quite know what to do with it, it's stuck in the near neutrals. The blue gradient is mainly in reference to varieties of denim although I would love to incorporate more navy as well as pale blue into my wardrobe.
Statement Colors
The big statement colors are mustard yellow, red, and burgundy with jewel tone blues and purples to a lesser extent. Mustard yellow is prominent in the summer, burgundy in the winter, and red appears throughout the year. The other colors (olive, brown, and pumpkin) I enjoy wearing, but generally wear them less frequently.
Laying the colors out like this I can start to see that I tend to go with outfits that are comprised in a couple of ways:

Laying the colors out like this I can start to see that I tend to go with outfits that are comprised in a couple of ways:
- All neutral
- One near neutral and one neutral
- Two near neutrals and one neutral
- One statement color, one near neutral and one neutral
- One statement color, two near neutrals
- One statement color (in the case of the jewel tones: plum and deep blues)
