Continue ShoppingAudrey Hepburn once said, “There is a shade of red for every woman.” My mother used to say, “Everyone can wear every color; they just need to find the right shade.” Through my study and teaching of makeup for the stage, I found those statements to be true. Instinctively, I know which colors in clothing and jewelry look best on me and those that are not particularly good choices.
If a person loves yellow (hue), for example, it is important to know the brightness or dullness (intensity) and the lightness or darkness (value) of the particular yellow that looks best on them. For example, I would never wear neon yellow in a blouse or dress. I might wear it in shoes or pants because the color wouldn’t be near my face. Or I might wear an outfit or bracelet with bright yellow detail elements. However, I know that butter yellow is the best yellow for me. I feel great in butter yellow. Butter yellow has a light value and a slightly dull intensity. Butter yellow is my yellow. What’s yours?

Once an artist or designer understands the nature and theory of color, it is easier to mix paints or to choose beads and crystals for jewelry design. At The Jewelry Pad, we use all the colors! And we find it to be exhilarating to discover new color combinations. The great master painter, Pablo Picasso said, “Colors, like features, follow the changes of emotion.” A simple change of jewelry can alter your mood immensely. We love to experiment with diverse styles and an endless array of colors when creating the jewelry in our six collections because at times we may want to feel romantic or funky or serene or earthy or regal or sensuous. Our jewelry can enhance and allow those feelings to emerge. Let’s explore the colors in each of our jewelry collections as they relate to human emotions:
Upon further research and study, I found it fascinating to discover the manner in which colors are actually classified. Let’s look at the color wheel:
Notice that there is a neutral gray color in the center of the color wheel. This is because when you mix two colors that are opposite from each other on the color wheel, you will get a neutral gray color.
Colors are classified by their relative lightness and darkness (value) and by their relative brightness and dullness (intensity).
The color wheel is located in the center of this double cone rendering.
Notice that the color white is located at the top of this double cone
illustration, and the color black is located at the bottom. As colors move upward in this diagram, their value becomes lighter. Conversely, as colors move downward, they become darker.
Let’s take the hue red. True red is located on the edge of the color wheel. As it moves toward the center of the color wheel it loses intensity and becomes duller. As it moves upward it gets lighter and darker as it moves downward. Burgundy would be a dark, dull red and be located lower and toward the center of the double cone. Baby pink, however, would be located high and closer to the edge because it is light and bright.
As the fabulous RuPaul said, “The whole point is to live life and be – to use all the crayons in the crayon box.”
