The color of your power chain can make or break an outfit. It doesn’t just serve as an accessory – it also makes a statement about you and your sense of style. The right color powerchains can bring out the best in your teeth, while the wrong one will draw attention to its worst features (and yes, there are some). Learn more about choosing the perfect power chain color for your teeth by continuing reading this article. Read on to find out everything you need to know about choosing the right power chain color.
Complementary Colors
For instance, if you have dark teeth and wear dark clothes, your power chain will stand out. Dark-colored or black power chains complement darker-colored teeth and look amazing. If you have light skin tone and wear bright colors, a sky blue power chain is your best bet as it’s subtle but attractive with lighter hair. Light-blue tooth bands match well with lighter shades of white. Finally, red accents work wonderfully with jet black braces bands! Simply put, your decision should be based on your complexion—and what works best in terms of fashion.
Monochromatic Color Scheme
Before getting your power chain, you should know about a color scheme called monochromatic. Monochromatic colors are very similar hues that all contain one main color. For example, in a monochromatic color scheme of blue, you would wear a light blue power chain with black or white braces, both of which contain some blue in them.
You can also choose to mix and match brace colors by wearing bands and brackets (power chains don’t go on brackets) that have different shades of blue; for example, a light-blue band with dark-blue brackets. The end result is still considered a monochromatic color scheme because of how closely related all three items are—they all contain some shade of blue in them.
Analogous Colors
So, it’s time to shop for a chain. Which color should you get? Here are a few ideas that you can use to narrow down your choices: 1) Consider getting an analogous color. Analogous colors are hues that sit next to each other on a standard 12-color spectrum (orange, yellow, green, blue). 2) Or maybe opt for something complementary: Colors opposite one another on a standard 12-color spectrum (blue and orange or red and green). 3) A contrasting color is useful if you want your teeth to be center stage—no matter where they fall in your mouth. 4) Use pastel colors if you’re more interested in maintaining that just-left-the-dentist look.
Triadic Colors
The triadic color scheme is made up of three colors that are evenly spaced around a color wheel. Triadic color schemes tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of your hues. To use a triadic harmony successfully, you will want to choose colors that are equally distant from each other on the color wheel.
You can do so by choosing any color and then sliding either toward or away from it at equal distances along both sides of its complementary (or contrasting) color. Keep in mind that while pre-selected color wheels make finding triadic harmony easier, they are not necessarily your only option—you have full freedom to mix complimentary colors if you wish. The important thing is to balance all three hues equally.
Contrasting Colors
Dentists does a lot of work with power chains and bands. He says that it’s important to pick a color that contrasts with your braces or bands. It’s all about matching—or contrasting—your smile, he says. If you have black braces or bands, then choosing something like yellow chain will look best in order to draw attention away from your braces (and to get rid of any chance you might have of people questioning whether they need new braces).
The opposite is true if you have clear ceramic brackets; in that case, go with a darker color like black or red in order to avoid having anyone focus on your mouth at all! Whatever color you choose, make sure it matches or compliments your teeth. You don’t want an electric blue chain if your teeth are blackened by coffee stains. And while pink looks good on some smiles, we don’t recommend going there unless you really know what you’re doing—and unless you enjoy being teased mercilessly by friends and family members!
