Elements of Design: Color


Coral is one of the most popular colors for the 2011 Spring/Summer apparel lines. Coral is seen in so many different fashion/apparel items including clothing, accessories, and shoes.

Purple is a very rich color that can make an outfit look very bold. Almost the entire body of the instrument is purple, just as in the models outfit which consists of two different shades of purple throughout the shirt and shorts. It is being more popular to combine two shades of one color in an apparel item.

Yellow is a very vibrant color that is seen a lot in the summer because it reminds us of flowers and sunny skies. The yellow in the flower corresponds with the yellow in the dresses as well as the dress to the left that resembles a flower.



The bright green apple in this picture resembles the bold green dress, both being very attention grabbing. We don't see green as often, but when it is used it usually portrays a statement because of the rich content of the color.

The orange dress corresponds to the orange because the bright orange dress produces such a burst of color, even though it is a solid and plain dress.

Black is and always will be a statement color. The bold black color in the cat resembles the rich black in the dress the model is wearing. Black represents a sense of elegance and high fashion.

The beautiful blossoming pink flower correspondes to the vibrant hot pink dress. The simple style of dress stands out drastically because the color itself is so bold and exciting without the use of any accessories.

This deep navy dress correspondes with the navy anchor in the picture. When thinking about the color navy, anchors often come in mind because they are designed on clothes with a navy colored theme most of the time.




This clean white colored car resembles the crisp white dress because they are both very simple, yet elegant looking at the same time. White often portrays a clean and fresh look to an object or apparel item.




This beautiful turquoise dress resembles the clear ocean water because the colors are similar and the thin chiffon material at the end of the dress is a see through shade of turquoise just as the clear ocean water is.
