The color theories and principles of a fashion boutique


The upper Picture is showing a fashion boutique which I have painted in a grand mood.

I used a dark, clean shinning floor to show a more high grand feel for the shop.

The walls and cupboards are in white color can outstanding the products. The products can more easy to catch the customes eyes. No matther they are in any color. White color has less affectness to colors, it just lightening colors. Light color has specal effect. The white cupboards are blend into the walls, which fools the eye into enlarging the space. Black and white color is Achromatic color scheme
.
The products are sticking out by the position and the display tool's color. The wooden tables in the center of the shop is sticking out the products. Wood color is natural color that easier for percept. It is more harmonize cause it has less differences, it justifies selecting light and black colors of a same hue or from an analogous color.

The animal fur under the table can be in the company's symbol color or the natural color of the animal. There are only this two constancy colors can be used for a grand display shop. If the color is changing by the trend, it is not noble enough and not economically. Inaddition, color is more easy to remember than words or sounds, the sense of sight is better then other senses.

The brand name can simply show on the middle of the shop or just printed on the glass door in formal fonts.

Collection-color secret.


This collection I pain it individauly. I just fill in the color what I like. Some of them are mono-chromatic color, some are complementary color.
From the cut line,this can be a collection, but this can not be a good collection with the color.
The second garment's top is link to the third one.
The third one's pants is link to the fourth top.
But they are not matched to others.
They can be a collection may only cause by the model skin...

For this collection, they have use one color family.
They are WHITE, SHINGING YELLOW, ORANGE and RED ORANGE.
Each set is mainly in orange tone. With part of yellow.
No simily color combination, but the colors look arranged systematically.
Even there is a chest vest, it also combined by the same color family, so it is not outstanding in the collection.

After this test, I find that even there are many color, but designer should choose a set of color for their colloection. It can make the collection more consistency.
And for the custemer preception, the garment's color is easier then the cut line to identify a colloection.
