How to create a tone-on-tone color mood board? The Blue Series

Posted By Gudy Herder / March 15, 2017 / 0 Comments

2017 is the year of the blue shades. Let’s translate this trend into a tone-on-tone color mood board.

Denim Drift has been declared Color of the Year 2017 by AkzoNobel, International Klein Blue is coming strong on several fashion shows, WGSN has opened a department only working the Denim Trend…

No wonder my current mood is reflected in a tone-on-tone color mood board (and I am back to the monthly mood boards, dear reader) and a total look paying tribute to the most popular color by men and women.

A convincing 44% of gentlemen and 45% of ladies say blue to be their favorite shade.

The upcoming mood boards belong all to a color series I am kicking-off today and I will show you some tone-on-tone proposals. Stay tuned for the Violet Series next month supported on IG too.

It was time to get away from only white or black back drops! (Ok, not a 100%, I still have in store a blue theme with a black background I will show you in my IG feed).
