Colour Matching

I'm not sure whether this is an autism thing or just a me thing but I've recently realised I really struggle to know whether colours go together or not. It's starting to really restrict what I wear as I tend to stick to things like grey, dark blue and black which largely go with anything. I recently bought a purpley coat which I really love but I struggle to know what I can wear it with as I don't know what other colours it goes with. How can people just tell what goes together and why can't I? Anyone else struggle with this?

  • I don't think it is an autism thing. I am the opposite. I have to check if a top goes with trousers and can't wear things that don't go. I often have to reject two pale colours together. It is the same with socks. I tend to match them with my top, so I have some greys browns, blacks for when nothing goes. As others have said if you stick to black, brown, grey trousers then it is easier to find something that goes.
