Q: I never know what colors go together, so I always just wear black and gray. Do you have any tips to make mixing colors easier?
我从来不知道怎么搭配服装的颜色，所以我就干脆 黑加灰，这样保险点。你知道什么好点子让颜色更容易嘛？

A: Color mixing is not the sort of thing that anyone is born knowing how to do, but that's a good thing. It's not a talent. It's a skill. And like any other skill, it can be learned. Here are six strategies to make it easier.
虽然颜色搭配并不是每个人都知道，但这的确是件好事情，这也不是什么天才所为，技巧罢了。学起来也并不难，一共6条秘籍就可以做到了。

Keep it in the family
让颜色保持在一个系列里哟~

It's pretty straight forward: pastels with pastels, earth tones with earth tones, jewel tones with jewel tones, etc.
直接明了的说：粉彩色搭配柔粉彩色，大地色搭配大地色， 宝石色搭配宝石色。

Use a color wheel to find complimentary colors 
使用颜色盘找超赞的颜色

When you're talking about colors, "complimentary" actually means "opposite." Black and white, for instance, are complimentary colors. That's why they look so great together. You know, "opposites attract." That whole thing.
当我们说到颜色，‘超赞的’有时候意味着‘互补的’， 就好像黑与白，一直都是经典是不是？要知道，互补才互相吸引。

Every color has a complimentary color. It's just whatever is on the opposite side of the color wheel. True complimentary colors are the same distance from the center of the wheel, but it can be very striking to combine a color from the center, like a pale yellow green, with its complimentary color from the outside edge, like a deep mauve.
每一个颜色都有一个超级搭配的颜色，那就是在色彩盘正对方向的那一个，并且离中心的距离也是一样的，比如深紫红色 搭配 深黄绿色， 这样的搭配一定是引人注目.

Give it the ombré test.
我们来做个ombré测试

Different shades of the same color or similar colors almost always look good together (yes, this includes red and pink). If you need some help, do a Google image search for "ombré [insert color here]" and see what pops up.
不同深浅的相同颜色或相似颜色 互相搭配的时候，看起来总是那么和谐（对啦，比如 红色和粉色）。如果你需要帮助，可以试试 在谷歌搜索 ombré [输入颜色]，看看什么会弹出来吧：P

Try the "J.Crew Hack."
试试J.Crew 骇客吧

J.Crew shoots all their clothes fully styled on a model, and they have a really great way with color. Take the piece of clothing you are looking to build into an outfit, then go on JCrew.com or open one of their catalogues and find something, anything, the same color. Then just make a note of the colors they are combining and copy it with clothes from your own wardrobe. I call it a "J.Crew Hack," but really it works with any brand or site that shoots their clothes on-model: Nasty Gal, Net-A-Porter, Zara. It's just a matter of finding a brand you like and copying the combos they use.
J．Crew 有他的系列的模型，他们真的很会搭配颜色。如果你要搭配一下自己的衣服， 打开JCrew.com 或者 打开他们的系列去看看，看看他们是怎么搭配颜色，照着这样的规则管理的你的衣橱一定没错的。我叫这个办法“J.Crew Hack”, 不过，这个方法在其他的品牌一样行的通哦~ 比如：Zara，Nasty Gal。 只要你喜欢这个牌子就可以模仿他们使用的组合方法。

Let a print be your guide.
让美丽的图案来指导你吧

Find a print from a designer you love (or even something in your own wardrobe) and break it down into its different colors; then make an outfit. If you want to take it to the next level, rank the colors in the print from most used to least used and wear larger items like dresses, coats, or sweaters in the most-used colors and smaller items and accessories in the least-used colors.
如果你遇到一个你喜欢的图案（没准有些就在你的衣橱里），把图案分解成不同的颜色，就可以搭配衣服啦。如果你想进入更高的层次，可以把最常使用到最少使用的，以及最常使用颜色的大件的衣服比如套裙，外衣，休闲上衣，直到最少使用颜色的小件饰品。

When in doubt, black and white.
犹豫时就是黑白配

Neutrals in general (navy, khaki, gray, denim, gold, silver, etc.) are great for color mixing, but black and white, especially together, are definitely the superstars of the family. It's like they're Beyonce, and every other neutral is Solange. You literally cannot go wrong.
最普遍的中性搭配（海军蓝，卡其，灰色，牛仔蓝，金色，银色等等 ）都是很棒的颜色搭配，除了黑与白，他们简直是搭配界的超级明星，他们就好像 Beyonce 和 Solange. 你一定不会弄错的。
