I'm new to the Ring 3 concept, but I think my former hairdresser got it when she told me, “Nancy, you wear swamp colors.” You know—ancient khaki, decaying olive, muddy brown, and that yucky ocher my mother used to call “babyshit.”
This is nicely written. It illustrates what breaking the proverbial wheel of dogma surrounding color can do for wardrobe choices and confidence. The color wheel illustration is great too. Thank you.
Within the last year I’ve stepped away from a neutrals-based capsule wardrobe; I was super bored with my look and always enjoyed a bit of vibrancy, but couldn’t quite wrap my head around how to marry them with more basic pieces. Ring 3 is revelatory!!
Wow this is a good post - the color wheel is finally making more sense to me and your illustrations really bring it home. We all want mini color wheels to carry around at all times!!! ❤️😀
Ring 3 - in 3 words “shades and tones”. In color theory take a hue and add black to get a shade or take a hue and add grey and get a tone. I live for ring 3.
I was thrilled to find your substack today as I drafted my own piece about color study in great clothes. Thanks to you I realized that most of my favorite runway shows in recent years have utilized ring 3 colors to bring outfits/collections together!

The part about Ring 3 colors needing to be described with two words, or an -ish added on. Genius! And SO helpful!

I've just hang your colour wheel on the door of my closet!

Ingenious approach to understanding the power of color in self-expression and getting dressed for life

"Ring 3.... they're hard to say in one word." This will stay with me! Thank you <3

How can I buy your Colorwheel sticker with the rings? I have looked and looked!
Would like to see "Ring 3" added as a filter option on the resale sites. This is eye-opening!!!
Ring 3's are what has been missing in my closet - I'm excited to try adding them in.

This is brilliant. I’m sharing with family and friends. How can I purchase a color wheel? Thank you for this! Truly!
You inspired me. I bought some pieces that are 3-ringers recently, and I see exactly what you are saying!
