Choose a simple order
Begin with garment type so you can find a shirt without passing coats and trousers. Within that group, arrange broad color families in an order you remember. Place patterned clothes by their dominant color or keep a small patterned section. You do not need to debate every blue-green shade; the purpose is quick retrieval, not a precise color chart.
Let use override the display
Keep uniforms, occasionwear sets, and other specialist groups together when that serves you better. A shared closet may need separate owner sections before color sorting begins. Put recently cleaned clothes back into the nearest sensible position rather than rebuilding the entire gradient. After a week, notice whether you find garments faster or spend more time maintaining the order. If the latter happens, use just a few broad divisions or return to type-based storage. Color should help you use clothes, not become another household chore.
