    Today's video covers a question I get often: What are undertones? What are tones? Why should we care about undertones? How do we use our knowledge of undertones to create better outfits and color combinations and color stories for fashion collections? How do I use undertones to tone our colors correctly? What are differences between the grays?

    As someone who dyes natural fabrics, I can attest to the fact that you gotta sometimes disregard the labels that some companies use. In fabric dyeing you basically have 3 warm primaries, and you have 3 cool primaries, and companies are always changing the names (as if it wasn't bad enough). You can really have some fun exploring this with fabric dye. With those 6 colors, you can theoretically make any color.

    Color theory is a real life application of the saying, "You have to know the rules in order to effectively bend them to your advantage."

    I gotta say, this video is a pleasant surprise for my Sunday morning. I thought since there was 35% vote on color theory request, you wouldn’t make one. I am glad I was wrong!! Thank you, Miss Zoe! ❤

    "Understanding colour theory will save you trial and error." This was the crucial thing our high school art teacher failed to mention. Thank you.

    Thanks Zoe! This is amazing knowledge. I'm a self-learning fashion designer and I'm treasuring this knowledge. The mood board idea from different eras was so enlightening. Please never stop making videos. Huge thanks!

    Complement with an e is when two hues "complete" the presence of all three primary hues in the pair. Red and green (blue+yellow). Yellow and violet (red+blue). Blue and orange (red+yellow). Comple-ment / Comple-te . . .

    Hi Zoe! Just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you do. I’ve made it a thing to watch you at least 30 min per day and take notes 📝 I am in the film wardrobe/ Costuming industry and you have helped me tremendously!! Your videos are straight forward, informative and easy to watch. So grateful for you 🤍

    Zoe your channel is a wealth of information, I didn't know the rules of gray/grey until now.

    Regarding the color-story that you've created, great choices and I love the green so much! Maybe go all in and set a rule for the green being specific for certain fabrics only, really falling in love with that beautiful emerald color in the top-center image. Vivid greens are so opulent

    Great video I struggle with some of the color theory as I’m partially color blind, this was very helpful.
