The Best Color Schemes for Family Photos
Since you’re doing the research on family photoshoot outfits, we thought it might be helpful to provide you with a few color schemes that work well for family photo sessions—regardless of the setting. These colors are especially helpful if you plan on color-coordinating with your family so that your photos look more cohesive.
Gray—Gray is a great color to wear for family photos because there are so many different variations of the shade. Why is this helpful? Your family could all wear different shades of gray while still looking cohesive and not miss-matchy. And, gray is a common color, which means most of your family members probably have something gray already in their closet.
Cream—As an alternative to white, cream colors will look great on everyone. White may be too harsh of a color and may be hard for the photographer to shoot, depending on the setting of your shoot.
Beige or Taupe—Beige and taupe are other neutral colors that will look good on just about everyone. This tone is also perfect for every setting and won’t clash with any kind of scenery.
Burgundy—If you want more color in your photoshoot or you’re heading to a location where a pop of color would look great, burgundy is a nice option that isn’t too loud or busy. This is also a really flattering color on most skin tones.
