WTF Lolita Colors

[ruby_babyd011]

I decided to make this post when the colorways for AatP's new collection "Ticking Clock ~Gears of Stardust and the Unfound Land" were revealed. Two beautiful shades of blue, a nice purple and then...

Oh I absolutely agree. When I saw Ticking Clock I immediately thought "please come in black x gray please come in black x gray" but instead they pumped out that nasty pea soup green. Now I may have a pretty unadventurous wardrobe in terms of color but I tend to save the info on really, really weird colorways just to keep for grins.

Whenever I see red x pink, I first think of Ariel from The Little Mermaid (pink dress? Red hair? WHY?). They aren't exactly complimentary colors, especially when the pink is this...reddish.

I actually like yellow, but it comes best to its right with peach, fushiapink, browns, mint, or carefully contrasted with lavender. I hate then they combine it with babyblue and pink and white, I find it too harsh and babyroom.

I think the last example properly look better irl, because it is more purpleish nightblue.
But salmonpink combined with royalblue? Not sure.

The bedspread print looks like 90s clipart on a broken screen.

I like then meta makes leopard or retro items, but I find this colourway extremely harsh.

Slightly off topic, but what print is that Meta sk? The cat looks like a demon :o

The name of the print is leopard print, doesn't help a lot. However I think it is part of Heart Leopard release from 2008. Especially because the Heart Leopard sujakan jacket has the same print.

Oh, I remember a leopard print, but with heart-shaped leopard spots. It was ages and ages ago so I can't remember many details >///< I think it even came in a strange yellow colorway...?

I actually quite like the black x red jacket! Looks kinda punk rock!

[vatalanta]

Yeah. the jacket is really cute(and exist in the weird yellow colourway).

Red x pink AP dress: Oi... Maybe if the red was only subtle accents it could work, but yeah red and pink are those two colors you really ought to be careful with even outside of Lolita.

Meta skirt: I don't know if it's just me or the photo quality, but that looks awful cheap.

VM OP: *facedesk* I just find the print ugly overall...

AP's Wrapping Present OP: Amen to the clashing colors! That was one of my least favorites of the past year!

AP's Gingham JSKs: I think those were meant for the star of a little kid's TV show.

AatP's Melody of Rain series: I actually do like this print and the yellow doesn't seem as garish in the stock photos unlike the sneak peek (if it makes you feel any better). The pink though looks more apricot-y to me and that kinda throws me off.
