(one being a neutral)\u00a0 and put together outfits with those colors only.\u00a0 More than three colors can seem a bit busy.\u00a0 Example shows navy blue, white, and pink.\u00a0\u00a0 Neutrals include black, white, gray, khaki, etc.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0 Add in an unexpected POP of color.\u00a0 The girls\u2019 fuchsia headbands fit the bill.\u00a0 Be aware that this POP will become a focal point in the picture, so I wouldn\u2019t advise adding this color in an area that you don\u2019t want others to look at too closely.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0 Use your brightest colors as accessories only.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want the brightest colors detracting from the most important part of the picture:\u00a0 the PEOPLE!<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0 It is ok to mix solids and simple patterns.\u00a0 SIMPLE patterns add interest and texture to a picture.\u00a0 Dad has a patterned, buttoned-down shirts, and it works just fine with the solid colors.\u00a0 If you stick to a color scheme, everything just naturally blends together.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-255\" alt=\"pop1\"
