Colour Schemes: Achromatic Colour Scheme
One of the most important things to consider in styling is colour. In styling yourself or others, you must always consider if a colour of an item will flatter the skin tone of the person and if the item's colour will flatter the other elements of an outfit. Does the colour of my top go well with the colour of my purse? if it does will it then go well with my shoe colour? What about my makeup? Any wrong move in selecting a colour of any aspect of an outfit will break the entire look. So great emphasis must be placed on colour:
Before we can fully understand the colour theory, we need the all time tool for colour- the colour wheel:

Achromatic colour scheme is usually associated with "formal", "evening", "business", etc.
Here are some styles that used the achromatic colour scheme:

My Achromatic Face Chart
This is my achromatic face chart, I got my inspiration from the third image and love the black/white contrast and really fits in with the design. I love black lips and the white eyes look really effective. I enjoyed creating this look because it was fun, even though I messed up the nose shape a little.
