COLOR STORIES: RED & TURQUOISE

Welcome to another installment of color stories! Today I am focusing one of my favorite summer combinations – red and turquoise. Why do these color work so well together? To start, they sit across from one another on the color wheel, creating balance. Red is a warm primary color, while turquoise is a blue/green mixture that is cool and refreshing. That contrast enhances their visual pop when paired together, and you know I love a good pop! There is also a psychological appeal. Red is a strong color that stands for passion, while turquoise is soothing and known to be worn more among the creative set. Together, they create a color story that is equal parts energizing and calming, super energetic without being overwhelming.

You can see another example of my styling this color combo here. Want a few more options to pair with red? See this combo I have worn time and time again, see this combo that works great for fall, and check out this post that has more red ideas plus three other combinations to try!
