Magic Color theories =]

I colored the above clothing arbitarily. It costed my time to match the color. Such a headache stuff for me~haha~and the outcomes were dull and didnt have diversity!


I try to use the split complementary color scheme. I select a color i like then find out its split complementary color group. The color is more vivid and harmony is achieved. It is really useful to buy a color wheel to select the color~~!!!
