How do Accent Colors Work? Trying 9 Colors with Charcoal Grey and with Olive - The Vivienne Files

preview

Works as designed – no surprises that I see this working
* Tomato Cream and olive
* Golden Palm and olive
* Scarlet smile and gray
* Italian Plum and gray. I think switching the metals to a silver tone would make a noticeable difference.  It’s a detail that I don’t think always matters much, but here I think it would.
Surprisingly inoffensive – I had to see it to believe it would work so well
* Tomato Cream and gray
* Golden Palm and gray
* Fern and gray
* Scarlet smile and olive.  I was expecting it to look Christmassy, but it’s giving bromeliad and I think I’m here for it
Living up to my low expectations – I wouldn’t have thought this would work, and I still don’t.
* Aventurine and olive – I just don’t think olive and teal do much for each other
* Winter sky and olive – it may be that I don’t think olive and blue do much for each other
I expected better – I really would have thought those colors would work but seeing them together made me change my mind
* Red orange and gray: chthonic vibes. seriously, this looks like cooling lava
* Red orange and olive: jarring.  maybe literally.  like pimento-stuffed olives.
* Fern and olive.  I tried but I can’t and it’s not just because I don’t really like monochromatic palettes.  that’s just too much green at once.
* Moonstruck and gray – this reminds me of junior high gym class when the t-shirt got washed with some colors that tainted it.  there is some warmth to moonstruck that I didn’t see originally.
Mixed feelings:
* Aventurine and gray: study in balance.  the first look – mostly gray with a little aventurine – is disappointing.  the second one with more aventurine is better, but I think this is another place where metal tone matters, and I would want silver.  I think just a little silver would give it enough contrast to look stunning.
* Italian Plum and olive: Rationally I don’t think the colors themselves are bad, but it has an Olive Garden vibe I can’t quite get past.  I have dishes in this color combo with an olive motif on them that I acquired in the early 2000s.  I would feel like I was wearing a pasta bowl.
* Moonstruck and olive: I think I could be talked into this, but it would have to be done very carefully.  The moonstruck top is leaning a little too athleisurely for me to take seriously with the olive trousers, but the purse and earrings are surprisingly refined looking.  I think a silk blouse in that moonstone would work.  I also think it would also be easy for this combo to look like a marine decided to borrow hubby’s army t-shirt for her morning run.
* Winter sky and gray – It looks like a drab and cloudy day.  It may be the yellow and orange animals on the scarf, though.  I’m finding it hard to look away from the scarf.  Honestly, I think that blue might be best realized as light wash denim.
