Well, as you might have guessed I'm a huge fan of constrasting colors. And I don't necessarily mean contrasting as in the official definition of what complementary color pairs on the color wheel are like. I'm also talking about combining all colors that are obviously very different from each other and not similar in shades (like e. g. salmon and red or beige and brown).
Take a closer look at the items in my shop and you will realize, I follow that color scheme A LOT. I just recently listed some new trifold wallets and my two favorites are these:
Take a closer look at the items in my shop and you will realize, I follow that color scheme A LOT. I just recently listed some new trifold wallets and my two favorites are these:
 purple floral pattern |  vanilla colored lining and card slots |  black and white circle pattern |  red zip pocket inside |
It adds uniqueness to an item and especially if it doesn't show immediately, there is a nice moment of surprise. Check out the black and white wallet: the circle pattern itself is nice but the vibrant red zip pocket inside just tops it all! I mean, doesn't that look hot?
The purple vanilla one is one of my most favorite color combos ever. I personally love the bright purple floral fabric anyway but together with the soft vanilla tone on the inside of the wallet, it gets a whole different look.
Sometimes it doesn't even have to be too obvious like in the examples above. If I have similar colors, I sometimes like to add just a little hint of contrast color, e. g. with a zipper or a little ornament. This is really a good idea, if you don't like a contrasting color to show off but to indirectly add a nice effect to the other colors of an item:
