BASIC COLOR SCHEMES #3

Triad – a triad is accomplished when three colors of equal distance to each other on the color wheel are used.  Red, yellow and blue combine to make a triad color scheme.

Color wheel for reference

What I used on Looklet model Miu is here is the triad combination of RED, YELLOW, and BLUE.  I used these 3 primary colors just so it would be simpler for the readers to identify. 

So Filipino, if you ask me :) This is how our Philippine flag has been designed by Emilio Aguinaldo. I guess he knew color blocking way before any of us did :)

Anyway...

On Miu:
RED, YELLOW, and BLUE compliments each other as a triad on the color wheel
Scarf - Longchamp
Necklace - By Malene Birger
Mini Dress - Dagmar
Handbag - Palmgrens
Heels - D&G
