The Everyday Style School

Beyond Undertones: Color Theory Made Simple


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why some color combinations look effortlessly chic while others feel like a fashion miss? It all comes down to understanding how color actually works. 

In this episode, I'm breaking down the three fundamental elements that affect both how colors look on you and how they work together in your outfits. 

This isn't about handing you a color card and calling it a day—it's about giving you the knowledge to make confident color choices for life.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The three elements that every color has
  • The biggest mistake women make with color
  • Four color pairing formulas that take the guesswork out of combining colors
  • How to match your outfit's contrast level to your natural coloring
  • The secret to mixing warm and cool colors successfully

I hope this episode helps you see color as a tool you can play with confidently, rather than something that feels confusing or risky. When you understand that every color is made up of temperature, value, and saturation—and that all three matter—suddenly the whole world of color opens up. 

Your homework is simple: start noticing these elements everywhere, from what you see on TV to what's in store windows. The more you practice identifying them without the pressure of getting dressed, the easier it'll be to use color with confidence in your everyday outfits.
