I LOVE this! I once read somewhere that if you don't know what to wear with a certain color think about how you see it in nature (i.e. red with green and brown like on an apple).
Yes to all of this! I'm always intrigued by the color combinations I see in birds. Even a single feather can have so many different shades of the same color, or in some cases, drastically different or contrasting ones.
Oh bird plumage is truly a masterclass of color coordination. I saw a David Attenborough documentary about exotic birds in South America and they are the original fashion queens. A peacock feather is always a source of rich color inspiration too.
Love tropical fish - the peacocks of the sea! Once you get past the literal stuff (ie: floral prints in spring/summer), ingenious print and color palettes are everywhere in nature. Love jewel tones for myself as well!
Claire, I'm the same way! I tend to default to my comfort zone when in a time crunch while getting ready, so having some nature-inspired color palettes on hand is my solution 👌🏻

Yep - and my fave example of this is a peacock feather. Nature is so good!

I love this approach to color pairing !!
Thanks Charu - it's a fun and low key way to play with color!
yes: tropical fish & plants, jewel tones, cheetah/leopard/jaguars, zebra, earth tones (looks terrible on me, but love it on other people)
no for me: garden florals, pastels

Ooooh love this! Definitely stealing it for future wardrobe shopping sessions :)
yesss 💯 I have pretty much the same "rule" about color combos: "If it exists in nature, you can make it work."
Love pink + green. Up there with lavender + yellow :)
oooh love lavender and the lilac color family 💜(as evidenced by my substack color scheme!).
