Someone asked the question “does red go with yellow?” on Yahoo Answers and the question generated some interesting answers. The answer that was tagged as the best answer was “no” that would look like ketchup and mustard”; but frankly I side with the people who answered that it really depends on the outfit as in the pieces that are put together and the shades of red and yellow that are mixed. One person also suggested that it depends on your skin tone but that would go to the shade of red and yellow that you mix. For example there were a few people who suggested that red and yellow go together if they are darker shades of red and darker shades of yellow but if you factor in skin tone the suggestion might not prove true for everyone. Some people might look better with brighter shades because of their complexion.
Did you know?
If you mix red with yellow you get orange. The orange will vary in color depending on how much red is mixed with how much yellow But of course you knew that. You learned it in grade school.
So does red go with yellow or not?
Whether or not red goes with yellow is one of those things that just comes down to opinion. In fashion really anything you can make work for you is acceptable. As long as you love your outfit it doesn’t matter if someone else thinks it’s something they would never wear. Fashion is about you the individual and how you feel. You should always dress for yourself.
