Color Psychology

Color psychology is the study of how colors can affect human emotions, behavior, and perceptions. It explores the psychological impact that different colors can have on individuals and how they may influence mood, thoughts, and even physiological reactions. While color psychology is not an exact science and can vary based on cultural and personal associations, certain generalities are often observed. Here's a brief overview of the psychology associated with some colors:

Yellow:

Positive Attributes: Warmth, happiness, energy, optimism, creativity.

Negative Attributes: Caution, anxiety (in excess).

Pink:

Positive Attributes: Calm, nurturing, romantic, feminine.

Negative Attributes: Immaturity (in excess).

Red:

Positive Attributes: Passion, excitement, energy, love.

Negative Attributes: Anger, aggression, intensity (in excess).

Blue:

Positive Attributes: Calmness, trust, serenity, stability.

Negative Attributes: Coldness, sadness (in excess).

Orange:

Positive Attributes: Enthusiasm, warmth, energy, creativity.

Negative Attributes: Overstimulation (in excess).

Green:

Positive Attributes: Harmony, balance, nature, growth.

Negative Attributes: Envy, inexperience (in excess).

Purple:

Positive Attributes: Royalty, luxury, sophistication, spirituality.

Negative Attributes: Arrogance (in excess).

Gold:

Positive Attributes: Wealth, prosperity, success, luxury.

Negative Attributes: Greed (in excess).

Gray:

Positive Attributes: Neutrality, sophistication, balance.

Negative Attributes: Boredom, lack of emotion.

Brown:

Positive Attributes: Stability, reliability, warmth, earthiness.

Negative Attributes: Dullness (in excess).

Black:

Positive Attributes: Elegance, sophistication, power, mystery.

Negative Attributes: Gloom, oppression (in excess).

Silver:

Positive Attributes: Modernity, sleekness, sophistication.

Negative Attributes: Coldness (in excess).

White:

Positive Attributes: Purity, cleanliness, simplicity, clarity.

Negative Attributes: Sterility, coldness (in excess).

It's important to note that individual experiences and cultural contexts play a significant role in shaping personal responses to colors. Additionally, color preferences and associations can vary widely from person to person.

A few more old oak brand images, mostly of landscapes in the local areas and of a leprechaun because i felt like it was pertinent to my brand to do so, these may later be animated and edited for videos though i may need to experiment more with the way i use the text.

Brand Creation Process Notes: Peregrine

Part 1

So I felt for a long time like I was neglecting my main muse just because I didn't have the patterns I needed to meet my Very Specific Vision of a brand, and by the time I'm getting around to making this post I Have Found The Lolita Dresses And Can Die Happy but even so, the rest of her brand is still just. So satisfying to me.

I knew from the start that I wanted to do a something reminiscent of a luxury/girly kei brand, with a stronger, darker color palette. I knew for a while that I wanted navy to be my base color, with cream and maybe gold, but I wasn't sure what to do for an accent color. I eventually settled on two--a jade green and a mulberry color--and while they do look nice together, they're not meant to be used in the same outfit. It's more designed so that you can pick a dominant color--navy or cream or a balance of both--and an accent color--jade or mulberry--and mix and match any of the pieces until you have a cromulent outfit.

I'm describing it a little backwards, because I ended up waiting for patterns before I picked the colors. Even though the site I was using to compare color palettes has HSB, the colors display a little differently in game. The lighter navy is much brighter and feels more saturated in game, and the off-white feels much closer to white than to the cream. The only way to see those differences was to test them on actual patterns in-game, and it wasn't fun for me to test them on patterns I wouldn't be using and exit out.

So, I had to wait for patterns.

As I said above, i really wanted Peregrine's brand to be something between cute and elegant, and evocative of a luxury brand (I say, as someone who has never shopped at a luxury brand in my life). In terms of patterns, I knew I wanted a lot of fluffy knitwear, lace, cute dresses, suits and the depressingly few boy lolita patterns we have in game for the type Bs (mens fashion git gud challenge). But I really wanted the overall image to be fairly fancy and elegant. I wanted to make things that would work well with the lolita dresses when I finally was able to work them in, rather than make things that I was likely to stop using.

It was also really important to me to make a feminine brand that didn't have floral patterns. First of all, this brand is for me first. I hope the rest of you like it, but I came here to make art for me first. And I like floral patterns, but I get frustrated at not being able to find things in patterns that I do like. Thus, Peregrine's brand gets lace and bows patterns, subtle polka dots and pinstripes, plaids, and as many of the star patterns as I can make look classy instead of florals. I might make an exception for one or two of the lolita dresses I've seen around, but the bulk of the florals are going to Murasaki's brand.

Above are almost all the patterns I've collected for use in Peregrine's brand so far. I haven't used all of them yet, and there are a few gacha patterns (the silk skirts, leather ballet flats) that I've used up already. Since Fashion dreamer mixes all your own brands together and i'm making a lot of duplicates for mix-and-matchability, I don't have a very efficient way to screenshot the finished products, but you can see the kind of image I'm going for! I also am trying to pay attention to finishes as well, for example I favor the leather ballet flats from the gacha over the just ballet flats that are in my pattern list, or I favor crew socks with emblem or wool crew socks over plain ones. When possible, I like to grab the versions of shirts or dresses that have necklaces over the ones that don't.

Once I got patterns, i finally got to start creating! I think the first thing I made for Peregrine's brand was the asymmetric knit dress she's wearing in the picture on the left, followed by the silk skirts and pearl-embroidered sweaters I got 50 million of from the gacha. Those items really solidified how I was going to use the colors I chose, interestingly enough. Outerwear has to be done in the darker navy or the cream to show up better over shirts or dresses made with the lighter navy/off-white. Non-lolita shirts are almost always off-white. Any metal on a pattern has to be changed to gold. The pale pink and greens are reserved for gems that look like they should have a high reflectivity. Cream tends to look better as lace than the off-white does.

I know I absolutely favor the green when styling, but I love how the pink looks as well (even if I don't have nearly as many good pictures of it, augh). It's really satisfying to see all my pieces in my inventory, and mix and match them new and different ways.

If you've read this long, thank you! I put a lot of thought into my brand and I'm really proud of it. I'm going to try and take more photos, especially of the pieces that I don't tend to favor while styling.

If you enjoyed any of these looks please visit my showroom/request lookits! You can also DM me if you want something specific. I'm happy to accommodate!

In Part 2, I'll talk about vetting Lolita dresses for inclusion in my brand, and also hopefully name the damn thing.
