YKK I see you are looking at color combinations. The combination here is a classic complement.
DD, who went to art school for painting tried to teach me some color theory so I would stop putting outfits together using color complements which look awful on me and wonderful on her, and instead use analogous colors, which work much better with my personal coloring.
There are tons of color wheels available online showing examples and I tried to link some without success so I took blurry photos instead.
Photo 1 are analogous colors. Photo two are color complements. You seem drawn to complements from what I can see from the combos you have selected for inspiration. I wish complements suited me and am truly jealous of people who can wear that level of color contrast. Angie is a good example of someone who wears color complements well. There are other types of color combinations, split complements and triads and probably more.... they go beyond my rudimentary understanding.......
The last photo is a picture of DD putting her color theory chops to work. She uses both analogous colors and color complements...oh dear...much too complicated for me, yet she pulls this off and looks amazing.
