What goes with Orange Yellow?

Orange Yellow is a vivid, mid yellow from Sanzo Wada's A Dictionary of Color Combinations, the 1933 reference Awtfit uses to score every outfit it builds. Wada recorded 8 palettes containing Orange Yellow. Those are the combinations below, and they are the ones Awtfit scores your wardrobe against.

How to wear it

As a rule, Orange Yellow goes with grey, denim and chocolate brown, which give it somewhere quiet to land. Because it is vivid, one loud piece is a whole outfit. Put it on top or on your feet and keep everything else quiet.

  • The safe version: Orange Yellow plus one partner from its palette, plus a neutral in the largest area.
  • The lightness check: keep a clear step in brightness between it and whatever sits next to it, or the outfit goes flat however correct the hues are.
  • If you own one piece in it: treat that piece as the point of the outfit and build quietly around it.
