color coordinating

Matching tones together

Color coordinating is selecting colors that work well together, typically in clothing, interior design, or visual presentations.

The goal is usually harmony rather than exact matching: She spent twenty minutes color coordinating her outfit.

The skill involves understanding which hues complement each other and which clash.
