Primary colors and secondary colors: some clarifications
But first, a small but necessary clarification: when we talk about style and fashion, it's important to understand the fundamental distinction between primary and secondary colors.
In fact, primary colors are the basic ones, that is, those from which all the others can be obtained. The main ones are red, green, and blue . Secondary colors, on the other hand, are those obtained by mixing the primary colors. And orange is the secondary color par excellence! It is born from the union of yellow and red : those who wear this color want to express vitality, sociability, and passion. Furthermore, if you like wearing orange , you are certainly the kind of person who doesn't want to go unnoticed !

The fundamental rule is to never place colors too close together . In fact, you should match the colors that are diametrically opposite in the circle. An example? Yellow with purple, or green with red ... And what about orange?
If your main piece is orange, you could pair it with blue and its shades , or with dark green . For example, you could opt for an orange silk blouse with a pair of light-wash jeans and complete your outfit with orange and light blue accessories . Or, you could show off a gorgeous orange patterned skirt by pairing it with white or black , considered "non-colors" and therefore suitable for any color.
Another perfect match that gives orange dignity and seriousness is the one with brown : try showing off bright orange accessories and palazzo trousers or a high-waisted skirt in brown satin.
