Variations on a Colourful Theme

I take colour very seriously. I love challenging myself to create tricolour schemes in my outfits, but variations on the theme of coral pink, teal and yellow are my go-to favourites! Some vintage colour advice I’ve been reading recommends that a colour scheme should always encompass the entire spectrum to be interesting and balanced. That is, it should either reference the complement of the primary colour, or the colours should form an equilateral triangle on the colour wheel. So maybe that’s why this particular triad is so pleasing - it picks up notes of the primaries red, yellow and blue.

Even better when you find houses to match your outfit, thanks to Notting Hill’s candy-coloured streets.
