Best Clothing Color Combinations For Men | Ultimate Color Matching Guide
About this video
Centeno explains the technical color terminology of hues, tints, shades, and tones as it applies to men’s clothing. He uses the example of a bright blue sports jacket versus a navy jacket to demonstrate why beginners should start with darker, more versatile shades rather than true, brighter hues.
Key takeaways
- Centeno defines hue as the original, bright color; tint as a hue with white added (pastels); shade as a hue with black added (like navy); and tone as a hue with gray added
- Centeno recommends starting with a navy or toned-down blue sports jacket rather than a true bright blue, as darker shades are easier to match and more versatile
- Centeno suggests true blue jackets work better as a third or fourth sports jacket purchase once a foundational wardrobe is established
