What Your Clothing Colors Say About You

About this video

Centeno teaches how color functions in nature and human perception, then provides a comprehensive guide to selecting colors based on skin tone. He explains color theory concepts like hues, shades, tints, and tones, identifies seven universally flattering default wardrobe colors, warns against colors to avoid for each skin tone, recommends specific flattering colors for seven skin tone categories, and discusses strategies for combining colors like monochromatic dressing and complementary color pairings.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that color signals authority, trustworthiness, and emotional states—navy blue conveys confidence and professionalism, while red signals power and dominance
• Centeno recommends seven default wardrobe colors (navy blue, gray, white, burgundy, beige, charcoal, and teal) that work for any skin tone and should comprise about 90% of clothing choices for a versatile, timeless wardrobe
• Centeno advises holding colors directly next to your face to see how they make your skin ‘glow,’ and provides specific color recommendations for seven different skin tones along with colors to avoid for each
• Centeno suggests using monochromatic or complementary color combinations, keeping accent colors to 2-5 pieces, and reserving bold colors like red as subtle accents rather than dominant pieces
