Colors of the Rainbow
Violet
In ancient times, the creation of purple dye was an incredibly lengthy, expensive
process. Purple garments became a symbol of wealth and nobility, even royalty; and
were sought after world-round. Although violet is now far easier to come by, the
color is still associated with its royal roots. A violet-themed engagement outfit
exudes playful sophistication and looks great on camera! Small accents of purple,
such as scarves and accessories, can also liven up an otherwise muted palette!
Indigo
Indigo - or deep blue - is a rich, exceedingly popular color which looks beautiful in
almost any setting. Outfits with blue elements create a sense of calm and quiet -
perfect for a more introverted couple or natural backdrops. Blue can be dressed up
or down to fit your tastes, and can be used either as a main color or accenting in
your outfits.
Green
Nothing says fresh and new quite like the color green! Green comes in a wide array
of shades, ranging from a yellowish, pea-like hue all the way to turquoise! Green
looks beautiful combined with earth tones, and therefore makes a wonderful choice
for outdoor shoots and backdrops of wood and stone. Even small accents of green,
such as jewelry, scarves, or shoes, look wonderful with whites and tans.
Yellow
Ah, yellow! The color of happiness, of light and sunshine. Yellow is a wonderful
color to wear in outdoor, buttery natural-light shoots, and looks amazing on
camera! Although yellow can be difficult for some to wear because of its tendency to
wash out skin tones, patterns with yellow or a single yellow garment in an otherwise
neutral palette adds wonders to your images. Adding yellow florals, jewelry, or
accents also helps to make your photos go “POP!”. We love yellow!
Orange
Orange is a tangy, optimistic color that demands attention! Strong, joyful, and
happy, adding orange to your engagement session is always a hit on camera.
Couples with a more extroverted nature might enjoy orange-themed outfits. Orange
also looks wonderful in urban settings, such as against concrete, brick, and stone.
Red
Red is one of, if not the, strongest of colors in the rainbow. A symbol of power,
passion, blood, and love, red is a bold and striking color for your engagement
session. Since red is truly a brilliant, attention-grabbing color, we recommend
peppering your outfit with red accents instead of making red the main color for all
garments. Pairing red with denim or darker neutral tones makes for striking
engagement images that create lasting impressions on your wall.
