I’ve been exploring colour blocking to welcome spring and bring a bit of brightness into this extraordinary time of social distancing, quarantine, and isolation.
Colour blocking involves combining two or more solid colours in an outfit or a garment, in my case, a hat. When combined well, the result is aesthetically balanced and simple. Often the colours are bold. They might be complementary colours, that is opposites on the colour wheel. Or, they might be analogous, next to each other on the colour wheel. Alternatively, different hues of the same colour can be used to colour block. A neutral colour can support and complete the look.
Colour blocking is also seen in paintings, Pop Art (think Andy Warhol), 60s mod fashion, and interior design.
