A well-inspired and ingenious usage of colours can generate a visually balanced image, with an bold impact, which is pleasing to the eye.
1. Pair separates
Consider pairing a BOLD bright top with nude bottoms
2. Kick it up a notch
Once you grasp the neutral wit the bold, try one bold + one bright + one neutral = GENIUS
3. Opposites Attract!
Dont be afraid to try a good color combination. It's helpful to understand the complentary colors on a color wheel
