Black is a dominant colour in most of Miu Miu's collections and this is often paired with red or orange.
Purple is a key colour in this current seasons palette and is also predicted to be a key colour in next seasons trends.
Brown is complimentary colour to orange and red as they a positioned next to one another on the colour wheel and the lighter caramel and cream hues are good for contast and balance with all the stronger, vibrant hues.
Variation 1:
In this variation, only 6 hues are used. There is a balance in proportion between the black and the plum with a hint of pink and red. 2 Shades of red are used to create an analogous scheme. This is a common formular adopted by Miu Miu. I feel that there is too much balance in this variation, as normally Miu Miu uses one or two hues to dominate the schemeand then a few hues to accent it.
Variation 2
I have used beige as the dominant hue in this colour scheme. I feel that the contrast between beige and black is too great, as Miu Miu often uses subtle variations of the same hue.
I also feel that too much pink is used in this collection. Although pink is a key colour in this seasons trends, I think that it would work better in moderation, or would be more subtle if teamed with other tones of purple or red. The red does not work well with this colour combination, there is no real order or balance so the colours don't flow well.
Variation 3
This colour scheme looks too similar to one of Miu Miu's previous collections. Although there is a good balance of colour, there needs to be more variation.There is hardly any purple used, and this is a vital colour for the seasons trends.
I particularly like the combination of red and black in this palette because it is dramatic and also purple and black; the darker hues give depth to the collection.
Variation 4
There is a real clash of colour in this palette. Following the proportions adopted by Miu Miu, I tried to incorporate 2 different colour groups to give the 'split identity' feel of the brand, however, as the sample is on such a small scale it doesn't work out so well. The colour groups are too isolated from one another and do not flow well or compliment each other. There needs to be a colour that combines the two colour groups, i.e the oranges, reds and beiges, with the pinks and purples (applying the Principle of Order).Variation 5
The colour combination of red and black is good in this collection, however, again i feel that too little purple is used so the proportions are not right.Variation 6
I think that this colour palette is too bright. There is too much cream used, which doesn't fit in with the usual colour palettes of Miu Miu or with the colour palette of the season. Having darker hues to dominate the collection would be better.The mix of two different tones of the same hue, works really well. In this instance, the darker shade of purple with the lighter one creates subtle contrast.
Variation 7
There is far too much beige used in this colour palette. I think that there should only be a hint of beige to brighter and accent the collection rather than dominate it.I like the subtle contrast in hues such as red, orange and beige. This combination can be applied to a variety of hues in an analogous way.
What also is appealing is the use of two similar hues, such as orange and cream, combined with black.
Variation 8
One style that works best is when black dominates the outfit and one other hue is used as an accessory, for example the far left dress is all black with a beige waistband. This gives the collection a sophisticated and elegant feel.
The use of pink, red and purple is also pleasing.
Variation 9
I felt that there wasn't enough variation in the colour palette so tested with a different hue altogether. Miu Miu collections often use navy blue as a dominant colour so I tried this, however, the chroma, saturation and value is all wrong so the colours do not match at all. The combination of blue and red works well though.
