如果你經(jīng)常閱讀INTO MIND乖订， 你會知道我經(jīng)常討論顏色展板（colourpalettes），這是應(yīng)為我認(rèn)為這是建立一個(gè)衣櫥最有效的工具之一：a.展示你獨(dú)特的個(gè)性風(fēng)格夺巩，b.100%通用贞让，而且很容易混搭。是一個(gè)通向外表（form）和功能的簡單而有趣的捷徑柳譬。

Now, in my veryfirst post20170714 為你的衣櫥打造色彩展板 Developing a Colour Palette for your Wardrobeabout colour palettes I wrote mostly about the form aspect: how to develop a colour palette based on your colour preferences step-by-step. In today's post I want to give you a few more tips and examples for the functional side of colour palettes: how to make them practical, wearable and helpful to your process.

在我關(guān)于顏色展板最早的第一篇貼子里喳张，我寫的最多的是關(guān)于form方面，如何基于你對顏色的偏好一步步打造一個(gè)顏色展板美澳，在今天的帖子里销部，我想給你一些關(guān)于功能方面的小貼士和例子：如何讓它們實(shí)用、可穿著制跟。

This post has two parts: Part I is about the three qualities a colour palette needs to be practical and how totweakyour existing palette to make it moreversatile. In part II I'll then show you 36 complete sample colour palettes, ranging from neutral to colourful.

這篇帖子包括兩個(gè)部分：第一部分是讓顏色展板實(shí)用化的三個(gè)要素舅桩，以及如何讓你已有的展板更加通用。第二部分是給你展示36個(gè)顏色樣板雨膨，從中性化的到有彩色的擂涛。

part i // building a versatile colour palette

第一部分：打造一個(gè)通用的顏色展板

Step number one to building a great colour palette is always to become aware of your own colour style: Which colours do you naturally gravitate towards, which do you want to include in your style concept? Let's assume you have already done this step (readthis,thisorthispost if you need help) and are left with a set of colours that all express your personal style. How do you then decide which colours to use as your main colours,neutralsandaccent shades, and which toleave outcompletely? My suggestion is that you first build a palette that best represents your style concept and that you love at first sight. Then, as a second step you put your palette to the test: Is it wearable, mixable and varied enough? Use the pointers below to tweak your first selection of colours into something that's bothexpressiveAND functional.

打造完美的顏色展板的第一步通常是意識到你自己的顏色風(fēng)格：你通常不自覺地選擇那些顏色？你最希望在你的風(fēng)格概念中使用哪種顏色聊记？讓我們假設(shè)你已經(jīng)做過這個(gè)步驟了（如果你需要幫助請看這三個(gè)帖子）撒妈，并選擇出一套顏色來表達(dá)你的個(gè)人風(fēng)格恢暖。然后你該如何決定使用哪種顏色來作為你的主要色、中性色和accent shades踩身？哪些顏色完全忽略掉胀茵？我的建議是，你先建立一個(gè)能夠最好展示你風(fēng)格概念的顏色展板挟阻，這個(gè)展板能讓你第一眼看到就非常喜歡。然后峭弟，第二步是你檢驗(yàn)一下你的顏色展板附鸽，它是否能夠穿著、搭配和足夠靈活瞒瘸？使用下面這些方法讓你的選擇的顏色變得既有表現(xiàn)力又實(shí)用

Note:I generally recommend aiming for a 9-shade colour palette: 3 main colours, 2 neutrals and 4 accent shades, and will be using that model for all examples in this post. You can of course adjust the numbers however you want!

注意：我通常建議使用9色顏色展板：三個(gè)主要色坷备，2個(gè)中性色和4個(gè)accent shades，這個(gè)貼子里所有的模板都用的是這種方式情臭。你當(dāng)然可以隨意調(diào)節(jié)顏色的數(shù)量

Is your palette wearable?你的顏色展板可以用來穿嗎省撑？

The number one thing you want to avoid is choosing a palette that's nice to look at but not wearable. I may love all shades of orange and yellow, but I know that except for a few brighter accent shadeshere and there, I prefer a neutral colour palette for my outfits.

首先你要避免的事情是選擇一個(gè)顏色展板，雖然好看但是不能穿俯在。我喜歡橙色和黃色的所有漸變竟秫，但是我知道出了一些亮色進(jìn)行點(diǎn)綴，我更喜歡用中性色來做我衣服的顏色跷乐。

For each colour in your palette,?ask yourself: Do I actually want to wear this shade and if so,in what doses? An easy test for this is to imagine the types of items that could potentially be a part of your capsule wardrobe,should you implement the colour palette in question:

作為你顏色展板上的每一種顏色肥败，你要問自己：我是否真的喜歡穿這個(gè)色系？如果是愕提，有多喜歡馒稍？一個(gè)簡單的測試是想象有一件這類顏色的單品可能是你衣櫥膠囊的一個(gè)部分，浅侨？

MAIN COLOURS Your main colours should be ones that you can see yourself wearing A LOT, and that would work especially well for yourkey pieces, like jackets, shoes, trousers, coats, etc.

主色調(diào)：你的主色調(diào)應(yīng)當(dāng)是哪些你會經(jīng)常穿的顏色纽谒，對于你的核心單品，如夾克上衣如输、鞋子鼓黔、褲子、外套等挨决，用這個(gè)顏色應(yīng)當(dāng)特別好请祖。

NEUTRALS Pick neutral colours that would suit yourbasics, i.e. simple tops, trousers,cardigans, etc. Black, white,cream,tan, and allshadesof brown and grey are obvious choices, although any other shade that creates a neutral (duh)canvasis also good, like amuted light bluefor example.

中性色：中性色適合你的基礎(chǔ)件，即：簡單的上衣脖祈、褲子肆捕、羊毛開衫等。黑色盖高、白色慎陵、奶油色和茶色眼虱，以及棕色及灰色的所有色調(diào)都是明顯的選擇。其他顏色如果能夠變成類似中性色也可以選擇席纽，如柔和的淡藍(lán)色捏悬。

ACCENT COLOURS Accent colours should work foraccessoriesandsingle items, like tops or skirts, that you would pair with your key pieces or basics.

強(qiáng)調(diào)/點(diǎn)綴色：點(diǎn)綴色可以用于配件或單品，例如上衣或襯衫润梯，你可以用于搭配你的核心單品或基礎(chǔ)單品过牙。

Are the colours mixable? 顏色是否搭配？

If your goal is to build acompactversatilecapsule wardrobe, the individual colours in your palette should be as mixable as possible, to maximise the number of outfits you can build. Again, the best way to check whether your palette is mixable enough, is to do a little thought experiment and consider a few possible colour pairings. Ideally, your colour palette should fulfil these criteria:

如果你的目標(biāo)是建立一個(gè)緊湊型通用膠囊衣櫥纺铭，你顏色板上的所有單個(gè)顏色都應(yīng)當(dāng)盡可能容易搭配寇钉，可以將可搭配出的膠囊數(shù)量最大化。另外舶赔，看你的顏色板是否足夠有搭配性的最簡單的方法扫倡，是做一個(gè)頭腦實(shí)驗(yàn)，考慮一下一些可能的顏色搭配竟纳，理論上講撵溃，你的顏色板應(yīng)當(dāng)符合這些標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：

NEUTRALS You want your neutrals to be able to act as a blankcanvas for the rest of your colours, so each of your two neutrals should go with every other shade of your palette.

中性色：你的中性色可以作為其他顏色的空白畫布，你的中性色應(yīng)該可以搭配你顏色板上的其他所有顏色锥累。

ACCENT SHADES Each accent colour should work with each neutral and at least two of your main colours.Bonuspoints if they go with each other as well.

點(diǎn)綴色：每個(gè)點(diǎn)綴色應(yīng)當(dāng)和中性色相配缘挑，以及和至少兩個(gè)主色調(diào)相配。如果點(diǎn)綴色之間相互協(xié)調(diào)那就更好揩悄。

MAIN COLOURS Each main colour should should work with each neutral, each other main colour and at least two accent shades.

主要顏色：每個(gè)主要顏色應(yīng)當(dāng)和每個(gè)中性色卖哎、每個(gè)主要色和至少兩個(gè)點(diǎn)綴色相配

If your colour paletteticks all of these boxes and makes you instantly think of lots of different outfits or colour pairings you could wear, you’re on the right track!

如果你的顏色板能夠滿足上述所有條件（tick：在box里劃鉤），讓你不斷能夠想出大量不同的搭配删性，或者能夠和你現(xiàn)有的衣服相搭配亏娜，你就做對了。

Is your palette varied enough?你的顏色展板足夠靈活嗎蹬挺？

Having a closely defined colour palette does not mean beingconfinedto the same exact look each day. A well-chosen colour palette should give you plenty of variety, yet still express the overall theme you are going for.

有一個(gè)幾乎固定的顏色展板并不意味著每天就被限制在完全相同的樣子里维贺，一個(gè)被嚴(yán)格挑選的顏色展板應(yīng)當(dāng)給你足夠的靈活性，然而依然會展示你希望表達(dá)的整體主題巴帮。

Now, the meaning of 'variety' will differ from person to person. If you know you wantlots of options, make sure you choose a range of different (ideallycomplementary)hues for youraccent colours, as well as a mix of light, medium and deep shades for extra contrast. If you prefer alessvaried paletteinstead,?try including a few colours that share roughly the same hue but differ in brightness orsaturation, e.g. a deep purple and a mid-tone purple. Regardless of which colours you choose, at the end always double check that your palette iscohesiveoverall, to simplify mixing and matching.?Check outHow to pair colours: A short intro to colour theory20170713 如何搭配顏色：色彩理論的簡單介紹 How to Pair Colours: A Short Intro to Colour Theoryfor more tips on how to add/reduce both thecontrast and the cohesionof your palette.

現(xiàn)在溯泣，“靈活”的概念因人而異，如果你知道你想要很多選擇榕茧，確保你為你的accent colours挑選了一系列不同（理想狀態(tài)是互補(bǔ)色）色調(diào)垃沦，一個(gè)由亮色、中等顏色和深色組成的混合用押，用以制造強(qiáng)對比肢簿。如果你喜歡差異度較低的顏色板，試試使用一系列顏色，色調(diào)一致池充，明度和飽和度有變化桩引。例如，深紫色和中等色調(diào)的紫色收夸，無論你選擇的是哪種顏色坑匠，最后通常要再三核對你的顏色展板是整體和諧的，這樣來簡化搭配卧惜±遄疲看這個(gè)帖子來尋找一些如何增加/減少你顏色展板的對比度和凝聚度。

And remember: Colour palettes are not meant to restrict you but help you build a wardrobe that is in tune with your unique personal style. There’s no need to spend ages hunting down items that fit the exact shade in your colour palette and the goal also isn't tosolelyown items in those colours. Simply use your palette as a guide to help you build better outfits and make sure any new items fit the overall vibe of your style and will work well with the rest of your wardrobe.

記仔蛩铡：顏色展板并不意味著會限制你手幢，它會幫助你建立一個(gè)符合你獨(dú)特個(gè)人風(fēng)格的衣櫥，沒有必要花大量的時(shí)間尋找哪些和你顏色展板上所有顏色完全搭配的單品忱详，它的目標(biāo)并不是僅僅在這幾個(gè)有限的顏色里挑選新的單品。簡單使用你的顏色展板作為幫助你建立更好形象的指南跺涤，確保任何新添置的單品都能夠符合你的整體風(fēng)格匈睁，并和你衣櫥里的其他衣服相配套。
