Photography
Speaking about color in photography, I would like to talk about William Eggleston’s work. Photography didn’t use color seriously until Eggleston came along. In the example I picked above, I enjoy how warm the colors are. The dominants colors are yellow and red. Even though the image has two bright colors, it is still harmonious. Warm tone colors are associated with heightened emotions and passion as well as joy and playfulness. But I also noticed that the passenger is dressing green which complements the warm colors.
Fashion
Despite there are five colors the model wear, it doesn’t look overwhelming at all. I think the hoodie, pants, and shoes’ colors are muted which coordinate well with the bright orange jacket. About fashion, people often said that no more than three colors can be worn at the same time. The black hat is definitely a smart choice. You can’t go wrong with black. Overall, the color combination is a warm palette that fits well in Winter. One saturated color and other muted colors can draw people’s attention to the jacket.
