When Joshua Blue, a vice principal at the Kennedy School in Hong Kong, hosts an assembly for his students, he wears a light violet-coloured pastel tie to give him an edge.

The bluish-purple tie is “colourful yet muted”, he said, which Blue believes keeps students from being as bored when listening. on the other hand, he avoids brighter purples and pinks when standing up in front of students.

“You don’t want so many bright colours that the kids will get distracted,” said Blue, 35.

It might sound a bit like hocus pocus, but experts say that no matter the audience — clients, staff or even children — picking the right tie colour can help get your message across.

“Colours give off very specific signals,” said David Zyla, New York-based author of Color Your Style. “The same suit can be transformed with different tie colours, each with a very different impact and message.”

Wondering what colour tie to wear to your next meeting? Here’s how to choose the perfect tie colour for every occasion:

1. All powerful reds 아주 파워플한 빨간색

It’s not a coincidence that many politicians wear red-coloured ties with light shirts and darker suits. 많은 정치인들이 밝은 셔츠와 짙은 색 양복에다 붉은색 넥타이를 매는 건 우연적인 게 아니다.

“Red is the power tie,” said Mark Woodman, a trend analyst who studies colour in Laurel, Maryland, in the US. “There’s something about red that always comes back to strength and passion.” "붉은 색 넥타이는 파워플한 넥타이다."고 미국 메릴랜드의 로렐에서 색깔을 연구한 트랜드 분석가 마크 우드맨은 말한다. "붉은 색에는 항상 힘과 정열로 향하는 뭔가가 있다."

But the tone of your reds matters, too. Darker reds, such as a burgundy, can help build trust, while lighter red and pink ties can be more of a statement about your personal style and be associated with creativity. In the last decade, a pink tie can sometimes signal “solidarity with women,” added Woodman.

When you are taking the lead on a project or want to convey a sense of ambition, consider a bold shiny red. A matte or printed red tie can be a more subtle way to convey power.

2. Royal purples 귀족적인 보라색

Ross Znavor, an executive in financial services in New York, wears purple ties rather than red to business meetings because the colour shows a bit of self-confidence and helps him create lasting first impressions.

Wearing a tie in a hue that’s less traditional shows clients, he is “comfortable in my own skin and someone with whom you want to build a relationship”, he said.

Lindsay said purple, traditionally a sign of royalty and wealth, is becoming more acceptable in the workplace. 린드세이는 전통적으로 보라색은 충실성과 부의 상징이었던 것이 이제는 점점 직장에서도 받아들여지고 있다고 말한다.

“Men are wearing shades of lighter purple shirts and darker purple ties,” she said. Wear one of these shades if you want to stand out from the crowd with a slightly bolder look that’s not distracting.

3. Black affair 블팩 어페어

While you might not wear them to executive meetings on a regular basis, wearing black ties to a cocktail party or even an upscale dinner gives off a sophisticated vibe, said Zyla.

But beware: the formal black colour can feel arrogant or overdressed in many situations. “Avoid it if being one of the ‘boys’ at work is necessary as you climb up the ladder,” Zyla said.

It’s often smarter to stick to grey shades, added Woodman. A grey tie can help give you a more sophisticated look without seeming pretentious, said Woodman.

“Grey is kind of edgy and it can look very modern,” he said. To pull it off, pair it with a lighter, pastel-coluored shirt.  Look for lighter grey shades and shiny finish for a more polished look.

4. Shades of the garden 정원을 연상시키는 색깔

Green can signal several things, from rebirth to the colour of money in some countries. But, surprisingly, it can be too loud for the workplace. 초록색은 재탄생부터 어떤 나라에선 돈의 색깔 같은 이미지를 선사한다. 그러나 놀랍게도 이 색갈은 직장에도 적용될 수 있다.

“Do you want to be remembered for the tie or who you are as an individual?,” Woodman asked. Choosing the right green can be tough. A bright green is often too distracting, and it can also be difficult to find matching suits or shirts, he added. Still, a light green tie with a subtle print can pair well with a neutral-coloured shirt.

Yellow is a traditional tie colour in countries, including England, which can signal assuredness, along with radiance and vitality, he said. 노란색은 영국과 같은 나라들에서 전통적인 넥타이 색깔이다. 영국에서 이 색갈은 자신감과 광채와 활력의 시그널이다.

Yellow ties can make you more approachable to colleagues because it’s a vibrant colour that’s symbolic of the sun. For many, wearing a yellow tie, “can show optimism and a positive outlook on life,” added Eve Roth Lindsay, an image consultant in Hong Kong.

Be careful of committing cultural faux pas when it comes to colour. For example, a yellow tie in India can signal that someone is a merchant, said Zyla. Wearing a white tie in China signals a period of mourning.

5. Fifty shades of… blue 많은 것을 연상시키는 푸른색

Afraid of sending the wrong message with your tie colour? Consider blue as the all-purpose tie hue. 당신이 착용한 넥타이로 인해 잘못된 메시지를 주기 싫다구? 그럼 모든 용도에 무난한 파란색을 선택하시라.

Blue ties are a good investment because the colour reminds people of the sky and ocean, which has a calming effect, said Lindsay. 파란색 넥타이는 좋은 투자다. 왜냐하면 이 색갈은 마음을 가라앉히는 효과를 갖고 있는 하늘과 바다를 연상시켜주니가. 라고 린드세이는 말한다.

“Blue is the safest colour to wear,” she said. "파란색은 착용하기가 가장 안전한 색깔이다."

Patterned blue ties tend to give off a classic professional feel and can be worn in a global business environment without sending the wrong message. A subtle blue can be “soft and introspective” while a cobalt or royal blue can help you stand out just the right amount, she said. “Dark blues are often reminiscent of well-respected pilot uniforms. Navy blue is a trusted colour and gives us confidence,” Lindsay said.

Be one with nature 자연과 하나 되기

“A more relaxed wardrobe of friendlier colours such as tan, brown, earthy colours, salmon and yellow works for people dealing with other people such as sales, teachers and the service industry,” said Lindsay.

Make sure the brown tie does not look too plain, because it can signal a dull personality. A beige tie can sometimes come across as too relaxed, she said. Avoid pairing earth tone hues with similarly coloured shirts. And if you are eager for a promotion and want to stand out in the workplace, skip these colours altogether.
