ACHROMATIC-SMOKY QUARTZ


-achromatic scheme

-in the Black tone, including

-Black (highest value)

-PMS424: Dove Grey (low chroma)

-PMS429: Light Grey (low chroma)

-PMS425: Charcoal Grey (low chroma)

-the value is generally high except the Light Grey

-Black & Grey are picked because they are a "must" in Donna Karan's fall winter collections

-the color gives a elegant feeling

-because psychologically, Black & Grey are motionless, calming colors

-they reminds people of the elegance & grace of female

-but they do give people a cold feeling

-----------------------------------------------

-because of this these 2 colors are great for formal business wear

-i have choosen Dove Grey for the suit

-matched with a belt in Charcoal Grey

-simple prints in Black color also add interets to the outfit

-making the formal suit less boring & stiff

-i have also choosen Charcoal Grey for the other suit that has a trench coat

-to make it more interesting

-its collars, pocket flaps & belts are in Brownish Orange

-for the evening gown, Black & Light Grey are picked

-the 2 colors have a contrasting value

-which adds interest to the viewers' eyes

-------------------------------------------------

-accessories such as shoes & scarf are also in black, Grey & White colors (Achromatic)

-they can match with any of the above designs

-because they are of similar hues

-this shows fexibile use of colors

-and encourages mix & match as what Donna Karan wishes
