Final Report of Christian Dior's Color analysis (Part 3)

Illustrations

By using Christian Dior's brand color family as below , i've designed a collection for the brand.

Illustration 1.

The Dress is the focus point.

I’ve used different value of magenta at the check pattern, with grey color.. Because checks are in same hue, although the checks are very large, it won’t be too exaggerative and be more harmony.

In additional, there are two violet buttons at collar (shoulder), as to match with the magenta body color.

Illustration 2

The pullover

This is a pullover sweater, with Christian Dior’s check pattern.

The pattern
Color of it is using mono-chromatic theory - The background color of the check pattern is light pink and the lines are deeper magenta. They are in same hue, but with different value, which can create harmony of color.

The strap on wearer’s left is in lake blue green, taking a contrast with the pullover’s main color – Magenta (complementary relationship).

The Boot
Major color is black, with some purple at straps and the heel. Purple is used because it’s the analogous color of Magenta. But i only apply at very little parts on the boot as to avoid affecting the focus point of Magenta Sweater knit.

The Hat
There is a narrow strap in lake blue color to match with sweater strape.

Focus point: The Dress and the boot
Magenta, White and Grey are applied on the dress. And the Boot is using shape violet and having black stripes at the sides.
Main color of this out fit is Magenta and violet. These two colors are match because they are in analogous relationship.

Accessories.

The bag
Again, two high valued analogous color is used on the bag – Yellow and green. They can both match with violet, because yellow is its complementary color and green is its split complementary color.

The watches
Is using red and dark violet, which having analogous relationship.

The knit T-shirt is in cream color. This color is easy to mix and match so it’s quite common in Christian Dior’s past designs.

The Dress
Dress is in gradual change of color and colors can both match with the magenta legging. Firstly there is a little yellow at the top (analogous relationship with Magenta), then change to blue green (complementary with Magenta), and finally gray. I used gray at the dress bottom part aiming to add layer to it and to make the upper part more attractive with shaper color. It helps to emphasiz the body shape of ladies.

The scarf
Another focus point of this outfit is the scarf with Christian Dior’s signature check. Background of check is light violet and brown. Violet is used becuase it’s analogous with magenta. They are match because brown, in fact, is dark yellow, and is opposite to violet in color wheel with complementery relationship.

Focus point of this outfit : the dress with contrast belt

Used layered green and gray to this style, matching with violet belt (they are split complementary relationship).

Legging is applying Dior’s cross check with dark gray.


Illustration 6

Focus point of this outfit: the long dress.
To match with other outfits, i also apply gradual color change on this style (Gray to Green). And at underneath bottom layer, This is the Dior’s signature cross check with gray as background color and lines with violet and green color (split complementory).

Accessories:

The Gloves
Is in magenta, contrast with the lake green.

The necklace and the hand bag
Both using violet as main color, matching with the outfits’ main color – lake green.
