BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Belly Dancing Costume colors

To match colors for costumes go to www.behr.com. It's a really neat site and they have a section where you can customize your own colors and then match them with other colors. It's for paint, but still, it's helpful.

Color combinations are such a personal thing, aren't they? I have a friend who loves purple and red together, but I wouldn't wear it. I like black with silver in a belly dance costume-as long as the lighting is going to be bright. When you dance in a place with low lighting, you need colors that will show up regardless.

I agree. with what you said. BUT, truth be told, funky color combos can be a distraction! If I'm watching a dancer & she's wearing an odd color combo, I think my mind wanders thinking 'What is up with THAT??'. I guess it also depends on the distribution of the colors....like in your purple & red example: if one is simply an minimized accent color, I might not trip out aobut that but if the colors seem to be in a battle to dominate then.... ;-)
