Color of Collection in Each Season

In each season, few sets of color combinations are used. Here below would show how the colors are proportioned and what the effects are generated.

Then blue is harmonized by yellowish gray.

Collection II -- Khaki Analogous + Accent Color

Main Color:
The pale and low chromatic khaki is harmonized by analogous yellowish gray,
which make the khaki even more lower chromatic.
But the whole outfit is made more lively by accent dark and sharp cyan.
The colors are nearly achromatic. Since the color tends to reddish / yellowish,
the scene still looks warmful.
Dirt Khaki + dark / cyan => low energy level


Collection III -- Achromatic + Navy




Main Color:
Low chromatic in high value + low value => general energy level


Collection IV -- Pastel monochromatic




Main Color:
Nearly only single hue in low value is used in each outfit.
The monochromatic colors are totally harmonized.

Although the colors are light, there's no contrasting / accent color and hence results in feeling of purity.
pastel monochromatic => very low energy level

Dark Cyan, which leaves impression of complicates, is matched with analogous color and sophisticated by white.
Dark Cyan analogous + achromatic  => high energy level

Collection IV -- Purple / dark slate green monochromatic

Both purple and dark slate green is played with its monochromatic and analogous color.
The chroma differences are large, hence they could enlarge each others.
The complimentary effect between Purple and Olive is not so exaggerated because they are in low chroma level, but the combination is still chic.
After all, they are still the variation of psychic color.
Purple / Dark slate green monochromatic => high energy level

Collection V -- Red + Color in low chroma

  Main Color: 
The red color is not totally red in winter, but the tuned-down red is still exciting.
The red is more dramatic with black and white, but with bigger white, the outcome is fresher.
Red is subtler with it's monochromatic maroon red, but it is louder (small but smart)with olive green.
Red + Earth tone color => high energy level

Collection VI - Denim
  Main Color: 
The Denim, which is in low chroma, with mud color base is either matched with the mud analogous color in even lower chroma, or matched with dull maroon.
