Bop, those charts help a bunch. Now I can follow quite well your processes in this thread. Before, I was merely grasping at straws.
The top half of what I wore today was an F major triad, though out of tune.
The idea with this is to establish a system of colour which breaks away from the quite limited model of colour theory we have so we can create new experiences
So like, if I wear a major triad as my main outfit, but put the minor third in my tie, am I playing the blues? If so, cool. Show us what that looks like Bop.
I have to say musicians take to this a lot better than artists
Love it! Was envisaging something like this - and it's certainly the sort of combination I would wear. Maybe a flat 7 for a pocket square......?
Id say flat 7 on the shirt...ill do some more when i get home
Aslong as the tone is right you can chuck it in where you want TBH..which is the great thing about it

Perfect example.
It's a shame he can't hear haircuts, because his is screaming "Twat!"
I think doing these pics has changed my perceptions of things like saddle shoes etc..because i know in terms of outfits what jobs they carry out and how to make them work..
With that above illustration the jacket in real life would typically be a touch darker maybe less saturated the trousers would be less saturated and a touch lighter. Then the white buck would just work nicely
I was thinking maybe a suede shoe with the tawny tone of the Major 3rd might work - like tobacco suede.......?
Yeah but you gotta get the lighter tones in the outfit somewhere...thats the things its like a game of jenga..you got to keep it all balanced. Which is why defining the pallette first helps. If you took away the light shoes you need that somewhere else in the outfit..with me my skin can substitute bright white
Why, are you an albino or something?
Im a regular Jonny Winter...
For someone with so much black Irish in the family I ended up with a complexion like Heikki's
And the hair of Phil Lynott.
Haha...
I love his quote when asked what its like to be black and irish..and he said, ask a pint of Guinness
Yeah, always thought he was a bit of a dude. Thin Lizzy were one of my dad's favourite bands, along with Culture, would you believe!
Thin Lizzy, the thinking man's Status Quo.
