| Summer has come. What colors are best matched to fair skin and sun-tanned skin? | |
| White dresses enhance both fair and sun-tanned skins. In summer, fair skin has a particular charm, which can even be enhanced when glimpsed through transparent black cloth. For sun-tanned skin, bright primary colors match best. In contrast, the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue are too strong for fair skin. Summer is the best season to wear the colors as bright as the sun. If you desire to expose your skin, walk with your head held high, showing your self-confidence. | |
| Is there any good way to keep a balanced diet? | |
| You can maintain a balanced diet by choosing food of various colors. Take, for instance, red tomatoes, green peppers, white radish, and yellow pumpkin. Each day, ask yourself how many colors were included in your meals. By thinking of color balance, you can maintain a good balance of various nutriments. | |
| I understand that purple is difficult to combine with other colors. Do you have any particular advice? | |
| Purple is indeed a difficult color to wear. The best way to use purple is to make it an accent. If you desire to create a warm and friendly atmosphere, use cream yellow as a basic color and add purple. If you hope to appear elegant, I would recommend combining it with dark pink. Adding purple to black will make you appear extremely individual and outstanding. | |
| What kind of color combinations do you recommend for this autumn? | |
| How about dark brown leather pants or skirt with a sweater of a bronze color? This combination makes you look classical and intelligent. If you desire to appear modern and cool, I would suggest a sweater of turquoise blue, the color I love best. However, never use black or navy blue with turquoise blue. When you wear this shade of blue, please hold your head high to project confidence and self pride. | |
| Why do Christmas colors consist of red and green? | |
| In my view, Christmas colors originated from the dark green foliage of firs and the red flames of candles. Imagine a house with the roof covered with white snow, and the window through which you can see red flames of candles and a green Christmas tree. Imagine the cheerful laughter of the family. Against the backdrop of white snow, red can supply "warmth," which is most wanted in this season. I believe that St. Nicholas wears red to supply people with "warmth." | |
| What color do you recommend for skiwear? | |
| In the snowy field, any color looks beautiful. Recently, I understand many people go skiing in ordinary clothing, but I regard a ski slope as an ideal place to try a color that you do not wear in your daily life. Against the white backdrop, you can create a new self-image. This will be exciting. | |
| Could you give me a piece of advice regarding color coordination using pink? | |
| For men, I would suggest a combination of a pink dress shirt, navy suits, and plain wine red tie. If you like gray suits, I would recommend a baby pink dress shirt and a dark cardinal tie. These combinations can soften the atmosphere of business scenes, particularly in spring. As for women, I am more concerned about the tones of lipsticks than those of dresses.A pink lipstick matches best to fair skin. If you have relatively dark skin, I would recommend a salmon pink lipstick. | |
| What color matches best with yellow? | |
| To make yellow most attractive, use bluish purple with yellow. If you are planting yellow pansies in a flowerbed, for instance, arrange them with bluish purple pansies. Also pay sufficient attention to the proportion of the two colors. The best proportion is one part yellow to four parts bluish purple. I have still another suggestion. If you wear yellow, try to keep quiet and behave modestly. Yellow is a distinct color; you will attract sufficient attention, even if you keep quiet. | |
| What colors do you recommend for the rainy season? | |
| On rainy days, use bright colors, to change the gloomy atmosphere. No matter what colors you usually wear, I recommend using vivid yellow and fresh lime green. These colors can refresh and enliven you and your colleagues. | |
