As boredom ramped up during the early months of COVID restrictions, creativity surged. And, with <\/span>tie dye<\/span> making a big comeback in the fashion world, it is no surprise that lots of people have been using their newly found free time to make unique <\/span>t-shirts<\/span>, <\/span>hoodies<\/span>, tapestries and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are finding that your creations are looking more like Pinterest fails than vibrant masterpieces, though, you may not be combining the <\/span>right colors<\/span>. Before you dive into your next project, check out this guide to the best <\/span>tie dye<\/span> color combinations<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding the Basics of <\/b>Color Theory<\/b><\/h2>\n

As a <\/span>beginner DIY tie-dyer<\/span>, it can be helpful to understand color theory before you begin picking <\/span>different colors<\/span> for your project.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Color theory is a set of principles that explains how colors interact with each other. Understanding color theory is helpful when picking colors to tie dye a shirt because it allows you to create a harmonious <\/span>color palette<\/span> and achieve the desired look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>color wheel<\/span> is a visual representation of color theory and divides colors into primary and secondary colors. Primary colors include red, blue and yellow, creating <\/span>secondary colors<\/span> when mixed together. For example, combining blue and yellow creates green, while mixing red and yellow creates orange.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Color mixing<\/span> is essential to color theory because it allows you to create <\/span>new colors<\/span> with different shades and hues. For example, you can make <\/span>fuchsia<\/span>, a bright, purplish-red color, by mixing blue and red with a larger proportion of red than blue. You can also create colors like <\/span>teal <\/span>by mixing one part blue with one part green and adjusting the proportions to achieve the desired shade of teal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Complementary colors<\/span> are opposite one another on the color wheel, such as blue and orange or red and green. When placed next to each other, complementary colors create a strong visual contrast that can be used to create striking tie-dye designs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding color theory and using the color wheel can help you select colors that work well together and create a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing tie-dye shirt. Likewise, it can help you avoid using colors that give your shirt a dull or clashing appearance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Single Colors<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you are a complete <\/span>tie-dye<\/span> newbie, doing a few <\/span>single-color<\/span> designs is a great place to start. Instead of trying to figure out which colors look good together, you just need to add one color to the fabric. Despite what you may think, the results will be more chic than boring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this method, you can simply tie a white shirt and add a <\/span>single color<\/span> of dye. Or you can use your <\/span>favorite color <\/span>dye on a <\/span>pastel <\/span>shirt instead of white. Using <\/span>magenta <\/span>dye on a <\/span>pastel<\/span> pink tee, for example, would yield stunning results! Another option is using multiple shades of the same color \u2013\u00a0 e.g., light blue, medium blue and dark blue. This is a great way to experiment with how <\/span>tie dyeing<\/span> works without the risk of creating muddy <\/span>brown colors<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two Colors<\/b><\/h2>\n

When you are ready to step up your game, try<\/span> making <\/span>tie-dye shirts<\/span><\/a> with <\/span>two colors<\/span>. Remember, though, that when placed next to each other, they will mix slightly. For this reason, you need to be mindful of what colors you use. <\/span>Consider watching helpful <\/span>tutorials <\/span>online<\/span><\/a> to find inspiration and techniques for getting the right shade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To create attractive <\/span>two-color<\/span> designs, you can use either two <\/span>primary colors<\/span> or one <\/span>primary color<\/span> plus one <\/span>secondary color<\/span>. Options for two <\/span>primary colors<\/span> include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
