Since we cannot talk about fashion without
using color, here is a window display project based on the color wheel. This
was a project that my visual merchandising students loved doing it. They had to pick one color scheme based on the
color wheel and set up a window display.
A popular choice was the triad, which
is made out of three hues equidistant form each other on the color wheel. The triad
is popular because is more playful than complimentary color schemes and more exciting
than monochromatic ones. In our case: orange, purple and green, three powerful
secondary colors. Here is the picture:
The monochromatic display is still
playful, and the one below has the focus on tints and shades of yellow.
Next time when you pass a
window display, see if you can guess the theme behind it. Can you guess the
pattern? Can you see the color relationships?
