Rut Roh!

I started playing with colors...and now I have 10 different schemes that I love...help?



Re: Rut Roh!

  • I like the fuschia, charcoal, aqua
    the yellow and the charcoal
    and the pink, charcoal, apple green
  • The only one I actually like is the yellow/gray at the bottom of the column on the left.  And maybe the gray and pink at the top of the right column.

    The other ones are kind of cartoony, IMO.

  • Honestly, I don't really like any of them.  Maybe it's because I'm having trouble imagining how you'd use the colors, specifically the sets of 3.

  • I like the rose and charcoal gray. If you did it correctly, that could look beautiful!

  • Same as Brie.

  • The greys or blacks in the sets of three would be the suit colors ;)
  • I dont particularly like any of them. Too vibrant and contrasting. If you had one vibrant color and a more subdued color to pair it with it might be easier on the eyes but I just cant see how it can be executed in a way that isnt assaulting to the eyes.
  • I'm not a fan.

    i kinda like the yellow and gray one. The other ones seem too juvenile or something.

  • Ditto Nebb and Fish. I'm honestly really tired of seeing fushia, black, and any version of tiffany blue. I feel like they're an expired trend at this point.

    I sorta like the grey/yellow and the grey/pink/green mostly because they are less in your face.

  • I think I like the coral, grey, and green the best...it would be mainly coral and grey, with little touches of the green here and there. And yeah, I get what you guys are saying about a lot of them being very "in your face"...
  • My wedding colors were essentially the scheme in the 2nd row, 2nd column - pink and bright green, with black suits. I think that it turned out okay. It just depends on whether you like vibrant colors or more subdued colors (or a little bit of both.)

  • I think you need to take out the extremely different accent. Your wedding doesnt need to be all avant garde to look interesting. What about salmon, grey and silver accents, or that orangy color, grey and copper. Colors more in line with eachother and still visually appealing. I even think the salmon, grey and red would look nice. It ties in nicer than tiffany blue or neon green.
  • I'm afraid I'm really not a fan of any of these so can't be of help either!
  • i like the second one down on the left, and the last one with the yellows. I'm not a huge fan of using gray right now. A little too trendy and cold for my tastes, so these really are NMS. I also don't like using any kind of pink. If you did a blue and green with gray I would vote for that, though.

  • I actually do love multicolour schemes, but I like it better when only one colour is saturated and the other is pale. All vibrant colours CAN be a bit much (though I've seen it done well for tropical weddings, etc.). Also, as you said, I like them best when one colour is dominant and the other is used just sparingly.

    Lots of different colour schemes can either be done well or done poorly. It's hard to envision just from these swatches but I trust you could make them work!

  • I think the Coral and Grey would look the best with touches of green, but not lime green more understated. I think if these colors were more muted they wouldn't be so offensive to everyone.
