They always work for mountain photo sessions in the fall. Here are a few examples of that below.įor some reason, navy and burgundy are two of my go-to colors to wear for fall photos.

For fall photos, you can safely choose colors that fit right into that earth tone category, mixing in neutrals as needed to balance out different skin tones. For Fall, Choose Warm, Earthy Tonesįall tones are super warm, and they include the earth tones.
Incorporating the natural surroundings into your palette can definitely make everything sync in your photos. Yes, even in Wyoming, the colors of our natural surroundings change. Let the surrounding colors that nature offers help you determine which colors to wear for photos. Use the season to determine the general tones for your photo session. Choose Colors to Wear for Photos Based on the Season The palette above is definitely a fall palette, which brings me to my next point.the season and surrounding natural colors should also influence your decision when choosing colors for a photo session. The chestnut is mostly coming out in the texture of the surrounding grass, and Andy has some of that in the pattern of his shirt. There's also a navy in that combo that works well, along with an ivory neutral in my daughter's patterned shirt. The print pattern in both my hubby's and youngest's shirts help offset the matching nature of the two teal shirts. I realize my oldest's shirt and my shirt are pretty much the same, but that's a long story about traveling and packing that I won't get into here.
This photo also gives a good example of coordinating colors but not matching completely. Photo by Liz Putnamįor this photo, we chose a Split Complementary color pattern from a warm teal base. My husband and youngest daughter have warm undertones, and my oldest daughter and I have neutral undertones. Here's an example of putting colors together for photos using my family. Bright orange, bright pink, neon yelllow, or neon green can put color casts on skin and will not photograph well. Generally, don’t choose any neon colors for photos. If you make a perfect triangle on the color wheel, you'll pick "Triad" or "Tertiary" colors (far right wheel below). By doing this, you are choosing "Split Complementary" colors (see middle wheel below). If you pick one color, look across the wheel and pick the two colors just adjacent to the complementary color. (Yet another reason NOT to put everyone in the same color!)Īlso, the colors you choose to wear for photos don't necessarily have to be the colors that are directly across from each other in the color wheel. If you have a mix of different skin undertones in your family, for instance, you have cool undertones and your spouse has warm undertones, you can tie your color palette together by choosing complementary colors across the color wheel. Most color wheels have many more shades and tones within each color grouping, but the ones below will give you a general idea.Īs you can see below, warm and cool tones are on opposite sides of the color wheel (full wheel shown in the middle). The color wheels below are just examples. Next, let's look at putting colors together. Use the Color Wheel to Guide Color Schemes
My family, for example, consists of two warm undertones and two neutral undertones.Ģ. I know what you're thinking.but what if every family member has a different undertone? I'm getting there. My neutrals always stay on the cool side, for some reason (I look sick in ivory, cream or 's white, black and grey all the way for me). I find myself wearing more cool colors in the winter and warm colors in the summer months. For example, I am a neutral, but my hair color is warm and my eye color is cool. They also might lean toward either cool or warm more seasonally. People with neutral undertones can wear both cool and warm tones, but they generally lean toward either warm or cool. Neutrals also tend to be warmer, including cream, tan, and warmer browns. Olives, mustard, burgundy, orange, cream, ivory, warm browns and rosy pinks work well for people with warm skin undertones. People with warm skin undertones tend to look better in earthy colors.
