Chat GPT to the Rescue
I spend wayyyyy to much time thinking about what color straps go with each watch dial, or how to pair them with my outfits. I have finally figured out how to get that info quite simply!
I dropped my watch into Canva, used the dropper tool to pull a color code from the dial. Then I simply asked ChatGPT what colors go with insert color. I then asked what colors per each season and saved them to my notes. I created an example of how I used its responses so I have a colorful diagram to use.
Is this overkill... absolutely. Will I continue to do this, probably. Let me know if you give it a shot!

This is awesome!
Mind making one for this colour, please? 🙏😁
Yes, maybe it's overkill, but I dig that! 😂
Brilliant what chatGPT can do, if youre into art this is colour theory and you can learn most of this using a colour wheel 🎨

So this is the prompt I give it: what colors go with #01102F. separate by complementary, analogous, neutral, monochromatic, and contrasting or accent colors
This was it's response:
Here are colors that go with #01102F, organized by different color schemes:
Complementary:
- Pale Orange (#FFDAB9): Offers a soft contrast, enhancing the darkness of #01102F.
- Light Yellow (#FFFFE0): Provides a gentle contrast, brightening the deep navy blue.
Analogous:
- Midnight Blue (#191970): Harmonizes with #01102F, creating a dark and moody palette.
- Navy Blue (#000080): Offers a deeper shade in the same family as #01102F, creating depth.
Neutral:
- Gray (#808080): Provides a modern and versatile complement to #01102F.
- Taupe (#8B8589): Offers a warm and understated backdrop, complementing the darkness of #01102F.
Monochromatic:
- Dark Blue (#00008B): Provides a deeper shade within the same color family, adding richness.
- Light Navy Blue (#46637F): Offers a lighter variation while maintaining the overall blue tone.
Contrasting or Accent Colors:
- Gold (#FFD700): Adds warmth and sophistication, creating a striking contrast.
- Coral (#FF7F50): Provides a vibrant pop of color, contrasting dynamically with #01102F.
- Turquoise (#40E0D0): Offers a refreshing contrast, adding vibrancy to the palette.
These color combinations can be utilized across various design projects to create visually pleasing and balanced compositions that complement the deep navy blue of #01102F.
That is awesome! I love experimenting with bands also! It can change the entire vibe of a watch.
Oh man, the watch strap industry loves you (and ChatGPT)!
Awesome idea, by the way!

I find switching up the strap helps me combat any fatigue I might have from rocking the same pieces. Even though I'm obsessed with most of them so it's not really an issue. But agreed 100%.
I love to swap straps and bracelets, but the day when I rely on some AI app to do it for me, or even suggest an option is the day I abandon all hope.
Seems that day will be sooner than later. Independent thinking is quickly being flushed away.
C'MON MAN!!!!!!

That's fantastic! Thank you!! 🙏
Genius!
You can take a picture of your watch (even your outfit) and upload to ChatGPT. And then ask for color combinations.

I don't have chat gpt +. Not sure that I can.
not to be that guy … but this isn’t exactly something you need an LLM to do. I’ve been using Adobe Color (it was originally called Kuler … seriously) to find complementary and contrasting colors for years, if not a decade+
Well, that's dope. But what do you ask actually?
The fun bit about this hobby is strap swapping. If I spend countless hours n headaches over this than it's time to stop the hobby for awhile and get on with real life. ✌️😁
Interesting use of AI compared to the usual bot writing trashy novels or students using it to cheat on their homework
I just bought a strap about two weeks ago. Why didn't you post this sooner 😆😆😆
This is awesome! Great job and I’ll be playing around with this in future 😃
Awesome work! I love seeing people overthinking things like this. 😂
Black still goes with everything, right? 😅

So you could buy anotherrrre
Jesus Christ , I need a sign or a something to note when anything is done with chat GPT, I won't pay any attention to what "it" suggests. about ANYTHING. Blasphemy,
lol I think that would be the title dude.
Completely without snark, I suggest you read a book about basic colour theory.
Also, it’s fun to go to a wall of paint samples at your local shop, whatever that may be, with your watch (not on any strap, just raw).
You can then have a field day!
Think of the strap as a frame for the dial.
This sounds sooooo fun. I will do this over the weekend 🤣. Works out. Need to pick up some screws anyway.

It IS fun! 😄
Interesting but no thanks. I need no assistance in finding my own preferences.

Blessed? I thought grown up described it more accurately. But please, if you get fun out of it, why not, there is no wrong or right.

Disagree. I need the visual is all. I’d argue methods of enjoying a hobby don’t really speak to maturity or one’s status of “adult”. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ not sure though may have to ask ChatGPT.

Happy to agree to disagree. I don’t consider colour choices a problem in my life. Enjoy what brings you joy.
