Break Your Color Palette Into 3 Categories
Once you figure out what colors you like best and which colors look best on you, you're ready to start making your color palette. We suggest breaking your color palette down into three categories:
1. NEUTRALS
Neutrals are just that neutral colors. These are the basic building blocks of your capsule and are typically the color of your shoes and tees/tanks.
2. MAINS
These are the colors you love and wear all the time. They can be more neutrals, pastels or really anything you want. It's your color palette after all!
3. ACCENTS
Accents are the colors that you like but may be too bright or bold to wear everyday. Or perhaps just a color you like that didn't make it into the coveted 'Main' position.
The best palettes will include a mix of colors that complement you, especially for your neutrals and mains. Don't forget to include colors you simply love (accents are a great place for these). If you just can’t decide, choose the colors that make you feel most like you.
