Your Fashion Style 1: The Color Combo 4 U

There are 4 main types of colors in fashion (this is what I call them):

Setbacks: Neutrals, deeper tints, shades. Setbacks are basically colors that don't pop and stay in the background. Examples are:

Black
White
Grey
Beige 
Indigo

Tone Downs: These are deeper shades of colors, but not as dull as setbacks. They are supporting colors. Examples are:

Khaki
Maroon
Deep Aqua
Dark Violet
Magenta

Fresh Ups: These brighten up, or freshen up your outfit. They don't always stand out so much, but they help you look brighter and are good for accessories. Examples are:

Baby Blue
Spring Green
Sunlight Orange
Lavender
Light Plum

High Lights: These colors just pop.Too much of these can look weird in an outfit, but they look great if you use them right. Examples are:

Scarlet
Lime
Citrus Orange
Bright Aqua
Sunlight Yellow

Now you know my basic color groups. Now here's a little quiz (I tried to make it as accurate as possible) to see the best combo for you!
