Colorful, colorful world, color makes everything in the universe full of emotion and vitality. As one of the most popular aesthetic forms, color is everywhere. It is inconceivable that human beings can survive without color. As a mirror of the times, clothing reflects the progress and development of material civilization and spiritual civilization in human society from its unique angle. The color of clothing, however, gives people a vivid and strong first impression of "setting an example first", thus becoming an important part of clothing. With the development of human beings, clothing color has been given different understandings in different times, and its appearance has the characteristics of social symbolism, aesthetics and practical function. Based on the relationship between color and clothing, this paper briefly describes the influence of emotional factors of color on clothing, the collocation and combination of color in clothing and the relationship between color and clothing design.
First, the historical role of clothing color emotional factors
Color has no specific emotional content, it causes ideological activities in the human brain through human senses. People's association, habits, aesthetic consciousness and many other factors put an emotional veil on color. It turns out that clothes have practical functions. With the development of human material life, it has evolved into a symbol of social status and a symbol of morality. "White Tiger Yi Tong" says: "Why do saints make clothes? I think it is to hide people's eyes and ears, to show virtue and persuade goodness, and not to condescend. " Clothes become the symbol of Dehua, which is used to distinguish the status of "expressing nobility and inferiority", and then form a hierarchical crown service system. And color plays a vital role in the crown service system. In China, the color of clothing has been influenced by the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements for thousands of years. Yellow symbolizes the center, red symbolizes the south, blue symbolizes the east, white symbolizes the west, and black symbolizes the north.
Yellow, which symbolizes the center, is a mild and warm color, and lightness, brightness and richness are the special colors of China emperors' costumes. Buddhism also regards yellow as a symbol of sacredness and belief. But in western Christian countries, yellow is a despicable color, and smearing it on prisoners' uniforms is a shameful symbol of betrayal. Blue is the opposite of red, which is the most subtle and restrained color, giving people a pure and transparent feeling. In fact, blue has been loved by people since ancient times. It has both the demeanor of everyone and the emotional appeal of a small family. China people also have a soft spot for blue, thus establishing a blue series with unique national charm of China. For example, batik of Chunhua porcelain, blue calico and so on. The blue used is very simple, and deep indigo with pure white has a strong porcelain complex. Blue is also widely used in Europe. People think that blue is the symbol of nobility and the symbol color of European royal family, hence the name "Royal Blue". The birth of jeans has injected a simple and natural charm into the larger blue family, and the blue tone is usually associated with work clothes, student clothes and navy blue clothes. There is no doubt that color has rich emotional connotation. Then, how can we accurately apply its language and content to the field of fashion design and carry out artistic creation? Color, shape and material are the three elements of fashion design, and color occupies the primary position. For a designer, how to make colors appear harmonious and elegant in his clothes, rather than mediocre and monotonous, involves a very important issue-about color matching.
Second, the basic principles of clothing color matching
There is no distinction between beauty and ugliness in color itself, and all colors have inherent beauty. Color collocation reflects its aesthetic feeling through the relationship between colors. The author summarizes three basic principles of color matching through comprehensive analysis: (1) color matching according to a certain plan and order. (2) The colors that are matched with each other are clearly defined, and the position and area occupied by each color are generally matched according to the proportional relationship close to the golden section, which is easy to produce the beauty of order. (3) The sense of movement generated by collocation is indispensable. It can be produced by the pattern of clothing itself: the repeated appearance of fabric color, the overlapping or embedding of fabrics, the positive edge and other processes. In addition, the sense of movement of color can also be produced by the gradual change or color matching of chroma and lightness of color according to the law and its own shape. No matter how it is matched, it is necessary to make its effect have a sense of harmony psychologically and visually. Because of this, sometimes decoration and foil can be used to emphasize the attraction of a certain part of clothing to achieve this effect. According to the above principles, we can see the color combination effect in clothing from lightness color matching, hue color matching and purity color matching.
(1) brightness color matching
Colors with different tones are matched together, and more attention is paid to the lightness, tone and contrast of colors. From the lightness of clothing color matching, there are nothing more than the following three color matching forms and effects. High-definition color matching forms elegant and bright tones, such as white, high-definition light yellow, pink green, pink blue and other colors, which are often considered as sexy tones for women and often used in summer. The color matching of middle-aged tones and the most suitable clothing colors for middle-aged people form a subtle and solemn style. It is also a common color matching principle for young people, such as using high-purity red and blue to give them a lively personality. The color collocation of low lightness tone forms a quiet tone of dark color, which has a solemn, serious, elegant and melancholy feeling. This tonality, if used on young people, appears quiet, restrained and deep; if used on old people, it appears solemn, reserved and old-fashioned; if used on intellectuals, it shows a feeling of being divorced from the secular and education. Low lightness tone is the most commonly used color in winter clothing. How's it going? Is it okay?
