Can you imagine a colorful bird? 🐦⬛ And ask your friends their definitions of a colorful bird. I won’t be there, but I can guess some differences between your definitions. They might be the tones of the colors or the colors themselves. When you ask me to imagine a colorful bird, the marvelous spatuletail hummingbird comes to mind. Why does it come to mind? Because its name doesn’t start with “marvelous” for no reason. You can search and see it. 😇 Of course, we all might have different answers, and they are all beautiful. All of them are beautiful because you imagined them. ✨ If you ask why I am speaking of birds and their beauty, you are right, I kept the intro very long. 🙏 Nature is one of my primary sources of inspiration, and I found imagining a colorful bird approach useful for this article. 🤓
Nature is very colorful. It has various tones of many colors and patterns. The fashion industry is often inspired by Mother Nature herself. And here is the good news: Mother Nature doesn’t follow any certain rules. Its main rule is being functional in nature. Those colors and patterns have meanings for those beings. Yet there is one thing that cannot be missed: nature has an authenticity. It shows if you use colors the way you like, those colors match. ✓ What matters is the tone, not the color. If it is the right tone, it is matched.
Moreover, the way we use colors is expressing ourselves. Some of us may like pastel tones and others don’t. This doesn’t make a color bad. It only shows people’s preferences. Think of painters and sculptors. The most famous have their own unique styles. They use colors and tools authentically and build their identity. Whenever we see similar things, we say, “It can be his/hers.” Of course, their styles may change according to their journey, but what stays the same? Being open to new things and flexible always makes you better.
So, what is your favorite color?💭
How do you match it with others? 😎
