THE EFFECT OF COLORS – PINK

Pink is a tough color with a sweet reputation. Looking pretty in pink is more difficult than it seems. Long associated with sweetness, youth, and innocence, pink in reality is a chameleon. Worn alone, pink can definitely become overpowering.
When in combination with emerald green, it looks tropical and fresh like spring. Used with red, its basic hue, it looks dramatic and theatrical. It varies from baby pink to very bright and saturated pink. Pink color looks best with pure colors. Pink and orange make a bold and electric collection. Pale pink with mint in linen is a popular summer combination for light combination and gray hair. Pale pink pairs well with pale and soft colors since paleness makes the area where the two colors meet, less distinct. Beige and pink also create a natural and gentle combination.
Pink is hardest to wear in strong daylight unless saturated or accentuated with deep tones. The addition of white to pastel combination of pink sharpens the contrast of a pastel and brings them into focus. The drama of pink is expressed as it approaches magentas and on silk and on any other shiny texture. The traditional association of pink and romance strengthen it as a color for evening dresses. Like red pink arouses interest and excitement, but in a softer, quieter way.
