In the entertainment industry, there are also many artists who take the lead in wearing green, and one is brighter than the other.
There is Han Suxi, who surprised the whole network with a green dress,
Competing on the red carpet and choosing an exaggerated dress to compete for the eye, Tony Ward's spring/summer 2023 collection is a retro Hollywood part of the green satin that she really can't think of anyone else to wear.

But the problem is that for most people, green is still a "beautiful is beautiful, I dare not wear" color.
People are often timid and deterred by green.
Green dresses on the Internet are dazzling enough, but the fact is that there are very few people who wear green clothes on the commute to work.
And interestingly, it seems that only we will have such a strong complex emotion about green, worried that it is not enough to raise the skin color, with a bad meaning... Don't dare to apply it to fashion aesthetics.
Today's color aesthetics, Shu will discuss with you how we can break the ambivalent emotions of green, and freely control this color that has always been yearned for, but has always been able to look at from afar.
01
Why is green so hard to navigate?
Different from the love of red and yellow, our application of green can be described as the ultimate entanglement.
First, because in the Asian public aesthetics, women's clothing and color selection are still based on the idea of "lifting skin color", "removing yellow qi" and "giving priority to skin whiteness".
Unless it is the ultimate autumn type person and winter type person in the four seasons skin color, and can control the thicker color, most people will have a dark skin color under the background of green, and the clothing material is not good enough, which is easy to bring earthy taste.
Yi Mengling, who is very bright in spring and summer, is not suitable for too harsh green.
Second, Chinese's own perception of green is more complicated.
Everyone must still encounter such a scene: Meizi wore a very fashionable green dress to go home, but the elders in the family frowned and said, "How to wear a green dress, it's really ugly".
Our negative stereotypes of green come from several aspects:
(1) Green is not an "orthodox color":
In ancient China, people had a "five-color worship" of colors, and they believed that the world was composed of five positive colors, namely: blue, white, red, black, and yellow.
Green, on the other hand, is a mixture of green and yellow in addition to the five colors. Therefore, in terms of "origin", green is not as good as the other five colors, and the ancients regarded it as a "mean color".
Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the quality service system gradually formed, the third grade and above are purple, the fourth and fifth grades are zhu, and the sixth and seventh grades are green.

Therefore, in the later dynasties, people usually thought that the rich and noble could "wear red and purple", and the inferior ordinary people wore turquoise coarse cloth clothes.

(2) "Green hat" statement:
From the spring and autumn onwards, people do not like green itself. Therefore, there was an unwritten rule at that time: wives and daughters who were sold must cover their heads with green scarves to distinguish between nobles and dears. And the ancients also often used the right wife as the right color, and as a concubine and slave maid, they used the pariah color (i.e., green) as a metaphor.
Finally, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols officially tied green to nobility, clearly stipulating that if there was a woman in the family as a prostitute, then the people in the family must wear a green scarf to distinguish between the noble and the low.
Not only that, but there are also rumors that when ancient women cheated on their sisters, they would use green hairbands as a signal to transmit news. Therefore, this statement has continued to this day and gradually evolved into the "green hat" statement.
But in fact, green has also been recorded in ancient color aesthetics, not as people think today, green only has negative meanings in ancient times.
For example, green is used on ancient utensils, and the green color on porcelain is like a landscape splashed with ink, full of glass, reflecting the dashing and extravagant atmosphere of China.
(3) Early mismatched shadows:
In the early days, when everyone's aesthetics and color research were not enough, there was often a bad combination of green.
Everyone also always thinks that red and green are the source of all evil in earthy taste, and it is an important reason to completely break up with the sense of fashion like the Northeast flower jacket.
Therefore, under the influence of this thinking, green is less and less used in the daily application of Chinese people, and this negative idea will make people who want to try green discouraged, and then produce a vicious circle, and they are unwilling to try the matching of green.
But in fact, green is not a useless color in everyone's impression, even if it is a combination of red and green, it can actually be worn beautifully.
For example, in "The Wind Blows Half Summer", Zhao Liying's green coat is paired with a red beret shape. This set is full of vintage and not bloated at all. The dark green jacket and belt show off the curves of the body more fully, while the red beret adds a bit of playfulness to the more capable and sassy whole.
The public has a profound and difficult to change influence on the deep meaning of green, but with the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures, the in-depth study of aesthetics, color, clothing and other more aesthetic fields, the negative emotions of green are also constantly weakening.
So in today's more open and inclusive environment, what new ideas have been produced by the color aesthetics of green, and what is the difference in the meaning of green?
02
The many charms of green
Green mixed with yellow and blue contains both the warm and bright parts of warm yellow and the deep and quiet characteristics of cool blue, so the charm of green is richer and more diverse.
The charm of the atmosphere of color is actually a more subjective feeling produced by people visually, so our impression of green in life will be projected in reverse in the charm of color.
Green often symbolizes the vitality of nature, the expectation of peace, the vitality of youth.

And green because of the different proportion and purity of mixed colors, there will be a new different green, but also the characteristics and deep meaning of classic green to further refine and change, Shu simply gave a few examples to help everyone better understand the unique charm of different greens.
1. Spring symbolizes tender green
Tender green is the most common color of nature, it is a symbol of vitality, its meaning comes from the growth experience of vegetation, so green is usually the antonym of withering, necrosis, and thus more longevity, health meaning.
The tender green used in clothing often has the freshness and refreshing air of spring.
Joy's little green coat and beret in the same color set off her full of vitality, fresh and lively, and the tender green color is easily reminiscent of the feeling of spring, and also makes her look like spring.
2. Classical atmosphere - turquoise
The turquoise between blue and green has both the tranquility and depth of blue, as well as the vitality and vitality of green, and turquoise is always reminiscent of the landscape color in ancient ink paintings, and the intricate color of porcelain patterns.
"Only This Green Green" uses this turquoise to further expand the natural feeling of green itself, and at the same time shows the majestic atmosphere of the undulating mountains produced by the fusion of blue.
Turquoise is usually displayed in a gradient color on clothing, combining aqua blue and light green to make the overall effect more complete. And this smooth use of gradient colors will also add a gentle, smooth feeling to the turquoise.
3. Representatives of magnates - emeralds
Emerald is derived from the Persian word for "green gemstone", and the color it represents is defined as the color of emerald.
Emeralds, which appear mostly in gemstones, naturally become the representative of noble colors, and because of the longevity and eternity of gemstones that are hard and indestructible.

The recent popular chameleon eye shadow, emerald is one of the most widely used colors. The polarized emerald green fused with gold adds a touch of exoticism to the overall look, and the dark eyeshadow itself has a cold temperament that makes it look even more dignified.
4. Science and technology movement - seaweed green
Under the reality that sports style is more popular, seaweed green, which is widely used in sports fields, has inevitably become the preferred color of many sports clothing.
Seaweed green not only has the meaning of representing vitality in nature, but also increases the presence of movement. The low-saturation tones that are not bright to harsh are also very suitable for the integration of technology and can bring out a sense of vitality.
At the same time, low-brightness seaweed green is obviously more suitable for Asians with yellowish skin tone, and seaweed green is also easier to control than shiny colors such as fluorescent green.
Green is also a unique charm in daily use, but for those who rarely try green, it is inevitable that they will wonder how to wear green appropriately. Shu summed up some small experiences today, which can help you quickly apply green.

A practical guide to green
Green with different purity and brightness can bring different sensory experiences, and there are different ways to match the superposition of color and application in daily life, while green can be both low-key and calm and high-key and bright under a variety of changes.
(1) Low brightness green + low brightness other colors = adjust the atmosphere
For the public to meet the needs of daily wear, it is a good choice to choose green items with low brightness and purity.
In the black, white and gray-based occupation and leisure sets, adding green elements can better meet the needs of seeking change in unchanged, and can also echo the upcoming season, making the whole appear more lively and tender.
DESIGNICE
Li Xiang, who directly surprised the audience in "Tokyo Love Story", used a matcha green suit with a printed silk scarf to add a girl's unique cute and pure sense to the solemn workplace suit, which perfectly reflected her more positive sense of color atmosphere in a state of love.
Or like Song Huiqiao's matching method, using white and light brown as a large area of background color, with a mint green coat with a slightly higher brightness, will make the whole look more positive and bright, and at the same time there is a sense of hope that the vegetation will grow new green shoots at the junction of winter and spring.
(2) Multi-color + small-range contrast = increase the level
Green color contrast can also produce different charm, but Shu suggests that it is best to choose only one color of the same color for contrast, and multiple colors will overturn if they collide with each other carelessly.

You can learn from Liu Yifei's pink and willow green color scheme, she used a green suit with pink underwear on the cover of a fashion magazine, and she also wore a skirt of the same color on the red carpet.
The color scheme of pink and willow green has both cool willow green to calm and warm cherry blossom pink to neutralize the cool feeling in color, and weaken the sense of distance, making her look more intimate.
This color scheme can also be used on makeup, focusing on the eyes and front half of the eyes.
In the hot spring and summer itself, red pink warm color eyeshadow will increase the visual temperature, and appear more dry, and even have a greasy feeling. But the addition of a touch of green will weaken this feeling, like the refreshing of a bowl of ice-cold green bean paste in summer.
(3) Large area of green + jewelry / different materials = eye-catching king
Compared with the green collocation that appears as a single item, when green is the main color that appears in a large area, it is no longer a low-key existence, but it can easily become a stunning appearance that explodes the audience.
As ordinary people, how can we wear green if we want to be the focus of the party?
First of all, when the clothing is selected with a single green, you can be more ingenious in the material, using light and thin materials with heavier shades of green, or thicker materials with lighter greens.
For example, Han Suxi's reemacra tulle green dress, which once killed the whole audience, stood out among Europeans and Americans with obvious advantages in height and figure. The design of this dress uses a tulle material to neutralize the heavy feeling of dark green, thus adding a touch of beauty to the elegance and sophistication.
In addition, we can also use more expensive and brilliant jewelry to match to improve the overall brightness and layering, so that the whole is more visually highlighted.
Princess Diana's emerald green oversized dress fully highlights the elegant temperament, and the matching of diamond jewelry in the same color makes the whole look more noble and elegant, even if the corner of the window rolls down in the dark, it cannot hide her sparkling charm.
(4) High-brightness green + other low-brightness colors = avant-garde new style
Highly saturated colors, such as fluorescent green, are often labeled as "dead colors" by the public, but in fact, this color can show a sense of fashion and avant-garde trendiness.
High brightness purity green + black is the best color matching, and the more proportion of black, the easier it is to control, as ordinary people can choose to add a little high saturated green in a large area of black, both to break the dullness and play a finishing touch, increase the role of fashionability.

Small area fluorescent green + other green is also a good matching choice, the bright fluorescent green is controlled in a small range, integrated into a more bland green, which can not only form color changes in the same color system and increase the overall sense of layering, but also increase a more intense sense of dynamics.
There are more and more occasions and ranges of green applications, and with a deeper understanding of aesthetics and color aesthetics, the views on green are more open and inclusive, and they are more able to accept green, and no longer regard it as the existence of negative emotions.
And each different combination can also give green a richer meaning. So in addition to the green matching method mentioned above, what other good ideas do you have can also communicate with Uncle in the comment area!
