A color palette is a range of colors used to create a cohesive look in clothing. It’s typically comprised of 3-5 hues that complement each other, and can be either monochromatic or multicolored. Color palettes are often created with the help of fashion designers and stylists, who use their knowledge of design principles to come up with combinations that flatter the wearer's complexion, hair color and body shape. With an artfully chosen palette, it’s easy to put together outfits that are stylish without being overly busy or distracting—adding visual interest without taking away from the overall effect.
