Orange and black makes me think of Halloween 🎃

Pink and Green go very well together.
Rest agreed.😊

I would love to see a video specifically for women with a winter color palette. We do not look good in camel and beige . A video on the best classic neutrals would be wonderful.

I think that it's very hard to wear two colors together when they are the same intensity. Also, it seems to work better if one of the colors is on a smaller garment - rather than basically dividing yourself in half with the two colors.

Lovely video! I really appreciate the way you show how to make the colour combinations work for those who just love them, rather than just sneering at them and making their fans feel small. I didn't think I liked any of these combinations either until I saw your alternate suggestions. You've proven yet again that putting some thought and planning into your outfits is always going to pay off... as is kindness. Classy indeed.

Your alternative color combinations were really lovely together. Some of the original versions were basically, bold! Great video, Gemma.

Princess Kate wore evergreen and burgundy (version. Of red and green) and it looked great

Thank you for doing a video with colour. 👏👏👏I find neutrals make me look old!

Thank you Gemma, whilst i am not a fan of bright colours on me - I only tend to wear them on accessories to brighten up my looks which are mostly a combination of neutrals- I do like seeing them on others, and very much enjoyed watching this video as well as your great tips to combine them with style and without looking like a flag or an 80’s caricature.

Very interesting video, had to laugh about Ronald McDonald and need to agree :D However, hot pink and lime green (or any shades of pink and green) symbolise the preppy style for me, that I love, especially in the spring. Writing this, I'm wearing my hot pink waistcoat and a lime green Ralph Lauren Argyle sweater :) I experienced that our opinion on colour combinations tends to change over time, as a child I would have detested the combination pink/green.
I'm really fond of your videos, please keep up the good work (and the nice relaxing style of your content!) Greetings from Germany!

I love pink and green combination, yes, such combo is abundant in nature but surprisingly rare among animals and I rarely see women wear it. And to make things more interesting, I wear pink bottoms and green tops as well. But one must make sure both colors match their skin tone.

In my opinion, Sarah Jessica Parker looks so lovely in her pink paired with red outfit.❤️💕

[yellowfuchsia]

I love your colour combination videos. I started wearing navy with burgundy after watching a previous video and I love it. The funny thing is, I already had a bag in navy, burgundy and dark tan. When I bought it that I didn't quite know why I liked it, but I do now!

[ednawilliams]

Great video Gemma. I like orange with camel and dark olive with burgundy. Discovered these combinations by just playing with my sweaters and skirts/pants. Happy coincidences. ❤😊

[laurenceapitz]

great video and I love the red and green pairings … Gucci does it very well
😉

I... agree that certain color combinations can remind one of well known brands, holidays or a county's flag, which is something I'd also avoid. But as for the bold color combinations it all depends on one's features. As a soft summer myslef, I personally steer clear of any bright colors. But my two bright spring friends would look dull and tired in what I am wearing and they are instead choosing some of the color combinations discouraged here and they are totally rocking it :D

[marciec]

I’m always so excited to see you’ve put up a new video. I really appreciate how much time and research you do on the outfits. Anything with Princess Kate is a big YES from me….and I’m a 67 year old American. 😊 Thank you again for putting colors together to give me new ideas. I screenshot them and keep them in a folder on my phone. When I go to get dressed, I have your suggestions right there! I now wear soft pink with navy, which I had never done before. ❤

[joannemorris]

Agreed about red and green, although Old school Gucci has used red n green

[valpurves]

Love this video yellow and blue is a new idea to me.abd the dusky pink with green is beautiful. Great ideas here to make colour s work well together thank you Gemna

[SueRosalie]

Yellow and purple together makes you look like a passionfruit. I agree pink and green works really well as a print but I would not wear them in a colour block way. About ten years ago chocolate brown was in fashion for winter clothes, but paired with dark green. So women everywhere were wearing brown trousers teamed with plain green sweaters and shirts. It dawned on me that it made people look like walking trees. It became a contest for my daughter and I, to see who was the first to spot a "tree outfit" when out and about.
